EdTech Software Decision Guide
Education leaders face a decision when it comes to software: should they build it or buy it?
Off-the-shelf solutions may almost fit your needs. Should you spend more for custom education software tailored to your organization?
There are pros and cons to both approaches. But how do you weigh them in your particular case? At the end of the day, the decision comes down to cost and control.
Our free guide for education leaders helps them weigh the benefits and costs of each decision.

20 years’ experience has taught us how to help you make the right choices for your users and your bottom line.
First, we help our clients in the education space ensure they build the right software. We do this using a proven process informed by Human-Centered Design principles.
Then we transform those findings into functioning software, released to clients in two-week increments.
We supply design, development, and delivery expertise together. That means you spend less time managing vendors and more time delivering impact.
Atomic prizes transparency, and clients who engage with us feel that. Each team tracks project progress against the remaining budget. If any problems arise, the team surfaces them. No surprises.
That’s why our clients give us top marks for quality and satisfaction:
You’re the hero of your software project
Here’s how we leverage your expertise to design and develop customized solutions. It’s a time-tested process that breaks down problems and unlocks your opportunities.
Our clients appreciate us for adapting our process to what works best for them. We won’t shoehorn you into an inefficient process that doesn’t match what you're trying to accomplish. Our clients are busy, and they insist on transparency and value across the entire software creation process. We deliver.
That’s why 36 clients came back to us when they had an additional project—many for more than one product. These additional new product investments total more than $33 million.

Atomic plays well with other consultancies in our field.
If you need a partner that specializes in education accessibility, software security, DevOps, Artificial Intelligence, or hardware services—we'll identify the right fit.

Once you contact us, you’ll be put in touch with one of our Managing Partners. They’ll answer your questions about Atomic and ask about your ideas, goals, timeline, and budget. The call should take 30 minutes.
If everyone wants to move forward, we'll schedule a more in-depth meeting. After this, we’ll send you a free budget model for your project.
In the last 12 months, we’ve helped 68 business leaders develop free budget models they used to chart next steps—whether or not it was with us.
