How Frontline Slashed SDLC Delays With Exadel’s AI Knowledge EngineHow Frontline Slashed SDLC Delays With Exadel’s AI Knowledge Engine
About the Client
Frontline Education is a recognized leader in K-12 education software, serving more than 10,000 institutions with human capital, student management, business operations and analytics.
For 25+ years, it has honed a customer-first culture that empowers administrators, educators, and support staff to manage complex tasks—so they can stay focused on student outcomes.
When Frontline needed to modernize a complex legacy application, they partnered with Exadel for our deep engineering expertise and proven delivery track record.
The Challenge
With a large, complex platform, even basic requirements were hard for devs and QAs to pin down—slowing down every sprint.
Developers and testers were spending hours understanding what should happen, rather than building and validating quickly. But since Frontline was focused on accelerating delivery, such bottlenecks were never going to be acceptable.
The Solution
Frontline’s customized Lumea deployment was built in under four months and deployed in just one. It connected Lumea to Confluence, code repos, legacy docs—and included a custom integration with Frontline Education's own Learning Center.
Before Lumea, even a simple product question meant digging through Confluence or chasing down a Product Owner.
Now, role-specific personas allow QAs, devs, and support teams to get immediate responses in their language. A tester could ask, “What happens when a store requisition is returned from approved?” and get an answer plus a Gherkin test case.
Adoption isn’t left to chance either. A real-time dashboard shows exactly which teams are using Lumea—and how it shows up in sprint velocity.

Lumea at Work
A support engineer needed to sync newly added database columns. Lumea didn’t just explain the task—it also generated the exact SQL scripts in seconds. No more digging through Confluence, pinging devs, and writing code from scratch.
Why Lumea works
Most AI tools can answer questions. Lumea knows your product.
It’s trained on your internal systems, documents, and code—so it gives relevant, role-specific answers that actually unblock teams. It goes live in weeks, sticks with your workflow, and makes an immediate difference to QA, support, devs, and product owners.
And because Exadel delivers Lumea with deep SDLC expertise, it becomes your system, not just another AI tool.
You don’t need another AI assistant. You need Lumea.
