McGraw-Hill Education - Rich, personalized learning experiences for every user

When McGraw-Hill Education (MHE) took its traditional media publishing company into the digital world, it needed to scale to millions of users while supporting open content, third-party metadata, and interactive apps. After studying similar use cases at advertising and social gaming companies, MHE realized that only Couchbase could support the massive scalability and rich, personalized user experiences they wanted to provide. With Couchbase at the core, MHE built a self-adapting learning portal that delivers fast, personalized results for every learner.
