Operational Impact
The operational results of Remind's solution have been impressive. The growth of Remind has been remarkable, with a large increase in the volume of messages sent each new school year. For instance, during August and September 2013, total users went from 2 million to 10 million, and messages per day went from 600,000 to 2.5 million. Most of these messages are sent between 2:30PM and 5:30PM in each local time zone across the US as students head home for the day. This demonstrates the scalability of Twilio's infrastructure, which Remind uses for its service. Furthermore, a Remind-sponsored survey of K-8 teachers who used Remind found that 78% said parent involvement had increased, 38% found that homework turn-in rates had increased, and 26% reported greater classroom participation. | |
