The NYC English platform has a three-tier architecture designed to be highly flexible for different deployment scenarios while being easy to maintain and support. The platform is currently hosted on Azure Cloud but can be hosted on other Clouds as well.

It’s Browser-based course player and apps, all use the same APIs for content retrieval from the Cloud database and to read/write learner performance data.  The product licensing engine enables post-paid as well as pre-paid licensing models. It’s a multi-tenant system, therefore each tenant can manage licensing their own way. The online store also provides for multiple tenants, thus enabling distributors to have their own store. All license sales whether directly or through distributors are tracked centrally.

The platform has an inbuilt Learning Management System that is available in a browser for teachers, students, and administrators. In addition to being a cloud based online environment, the platform can be deployed on-premise for offline delivery of learning.

The compulsory periodic handshake with cloud servers ensures updates as well as product usage control. The system is also designed to be easily integrated with other external systems that customers may have.

NYC English supports native languages so architecting for easy localization and isolated testing was critical. It already supports multiple languages and can include a new language in a very short turnaround time – no more than 3-4 months  for a new language.  The system goes through regular static and dynamic scans to ensure secure code.
