About LSS

Laurel Springs School is an accredited K-12 online education institution. Their program has served more than 4,500 graduated students and continues to expand its global reach, working with families in all 50 states and more than 100 countries.

Challenge

Leading through digital disruption

The promise of a live commerce system in 4-6 weeks was fulfilled, and Laurel Springs continues to trailblaze their leading-edge digital experience journey by implementing and enhancing one of the first Composable DXP.

Solution

Fastest commerce implementation

XCentium designed, implemented and deployed Sitecore’s first OrderCloud implementation in just under six weeks. This included the integration of a new OrderCloud storefront and solution with Laurel Springs’ legacy ERP (NetSuite), Learning Management System (Genius) and payment processing gateway (CyberSource).

Laurel Springs’ digital commerce goals and marketing capabilities had fallen behind. In response, they identified two trends with the potential for explosive growth in demand for their products and services. The first opportunity was the global pandemic and the second was the overall growth and acceptance of K-12 online learning. To maintain their reputation of excellence, they took advantage of these opportunities by partnering with XCentium and Sitecore to deliver a fast-to-market commerce implementation.

Outcome

First to deliver Sitecore OrderCloud implementation

XCentium transformed LSS's digital experience by providing the necessary tools and architecture to achieve their business goals. Implementing a composable architecture enabled Laurel Springs to rapidly deliver new content and course offerings to their customers, with the ability to purchase courses directly online. The flexibility of the underlying technology architecture and tools has also strategically positioned LSS to deliver personalized content and targeted course offerings.

The Composable DXP allows Laurel Springs to choose the product roadmap based on their needs rather than technological dependency. It empowered marketing teams to manage course content and delivery, while enabling direct online course purchasing.
