We started out in online marketing, then went all in on education. We built a platform that could do almost anything, and it grew into products used by millions of people.

From marketing to education
We started in 2000 as online marketing specialists. Step by step we moved into education, building on several companies that taught people of all generations – from schoolchildren to seniors.
From those years we kept one simple lesson: everyone learns differently and at their own pace. A good learning system has to adapt the content to the person, not the person to the content.

A platform that could do everything
In 2010 Kvintech solution, s.r.o. was founded, together with a large digital learning platform. It ran on all kinds of computers, even outdated ones, and could deliver any course, exercise or test.

3the lesson we learned
A strength that became a weakness
Being completely universal was the platform’s biggest advantage. It was also its biggest drawback.
The platform offered a huge number of options. Mastering it, however, was not easy – anyone who wanted to build a course first had to learn dozens of settings. We realised that people don’t want a tool for everything. They want a ready-made solution for one thing that works straight away.
One platform for everythingenormous power, demanding to use

Specialised products
We hid the complexity under the bonnet. On top of the platform we built products that do one thing and do it well.

The same method the other way round – foreigners learn Czech naturally, with explanations in English, Ukrainian or Russian.

5IT for companies and public bodies
IT services and custom software
Years of building our own software taught us how good software is made – and where it most often goes wrong. Today we share that experience with others.
- IT tendersreviewing tender documentation and running procurement so the client gets what they really need
- Specialised softwaredesigning and deploying solutions for a specific field and process
- Custom softwarefrom analysis to operation, including learning and testing systems
- Optimisation and AImaking existing systems faster and simpler, using artificial intelligence where it makes sense – more
The chapter we are writing today
… for a joyful life.
We still enjoy the same thing we did at the start: making learning easier and more natural, and making technology help people instead of slowing them down.
