Scaling lifelong learning across Latin America

The challenge

• Needed to rapidly deploy multiple learning portals for a network of 70+ institutions
• Complex integration requirements for multiple external catalogs (Coursera, LinkedIn, etc.)
• Required robust payment gateway integration for e-commerce across multiple countries
• Traditional course development could not keep pace with institutional demand

Before CYPHER, we faced critical challenges in building a true lifelong learning ecosystem. Scaling our reach was difficult because we needed to rapidly deploy multiple learning portals to serve a network of over 70 institutions. Managing dozens of institutions within a unified architecture was a massive undertaking, and integrating multiple external catalogs like Coursera and LinkedIn Learning into unified learning pathways was extremely complex.

Furthermore, traditional course development could not keep pace with the growing demands from our institutional network, creating a bottleneck for our expansion. We also required a robust payment gateway integration to support e-commerce across multiple institutions and countries, alongside a comprehensive system to issue, track, and validate digital microcredentials so learners could showcase verified competencies.

The solution

• Multi-portal architecture allows for 20 professional, branded portals in one month
• CYPHER Agent produced 500 courses in record time for the pilot phase
• Flywire integration enables seamless e-commerce and payment processing

CYPHER has been instrumental in enabling our ecosystem vision. The platform’s multi-portal architecture allowed us to deploy 20 professional, branded portals during our first month of onboarding. The platform's robust integration capabilities have allowed us to create a full ecosystem connecting Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, Netzun, Learnlight, our Griky Catalog, and Flywire for payment processing.

• AI-powered production: Using CYPHER Agent, we produced 500 courses in record time for our pilot universities. This intelligent assistant also helps our 75,000 pilot students navigate content and get immediate answers.

• Unified learning paths: We have created comprehensive learning paths that combine content from five major world-class catalogs into a single, cohesive journey.

• Branded experience: We deliver a professional, white-labeled experience tailored to each of our 20 pilot institutions, ensuring institutional identity is preserved.

The results

• 60% reduction in course development time using CYPHER Agent
• 300% increase in course production velocity
• Scalable infrastructure now serving 75,000 students in the pilot phase

The results of our pilot phase have been remarkable. We successfully transferred 20+ universities with 75,000 students to our new ecosystem in record time. Our course production velocity increased by approximately 300%, allowing us to meet the urgent needs of our institutional network.

By automating manual processes and leveraging intelligent insights, we have achieved a 60% reduction in course development time using CYPHER Agent. This efficiency has reduced our time-to-market for new institutional portals from months to just weeks. This operational excellence allows us to focus on our core mission: providing high-quality, lifelong education to every corner of Latin America.
