Our Platform

Integrated Solutions for Every Layer of District Technology

Mainm delivers purpose-built integration infrastructure across the full spectrum of K–12 technology operations — from learning management and student information systems to compliance, analytics, and student-facing applications. Each solution is engineered for production scale, configured for your specific environment, and supported by a dedicated team.

Enterprise-Grade Learning Management System Connectivity

Modern districts operate across multiple LMS platforms simultaneously — a legacy reality that creates grade discrepancies, enrollment gaps, and administrative overhead that compounds every semester. Mainm's LMS integration layer resolves this by establishing authoritative, bidirectional data flows between your platforms and your source-of-truth SIS.

We hold official Schoology developer credentials and maintain active integrations with Canvas, Blackboard Learn, and Moodle — each built to the platform's native API specification rather than fragile screen-scraping approaches that break with every platform update.

Student Information System Data Architecture at District Scale

Your student information system is the authoritative record of enrollment, demographics, scheduling, and academic history — but extracting reliable, timely data from it has historically required custom scripting, manual exports, and error-prone reconciliation processes that consume IT capacity and introduce risk.

Mainm replaces this fragile infrastructure with production-grade data pipelines that connect PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, and Skyward to downstream systems with documented schemas, automated error handling, and end-to-end observability.

District Analytics

Institutional Intelligence That Drives Instructional Decisions

The data your district generates every day — attendance patterns, grade distributions, course completion rates, demographic equity gaps — contains actionable intelligence that remains invisible when it lives in disconnected systems accessible only to IT administrators.

Mainm's analytics layer aggregates, normalizes, and surfaces this intelligence through role-appropriate dashboards that give principals, curriculum directors, and district administrators the visibility to make data-informed decisions without submitting IT tickets.

Compliance
Data Privacy & Compliance

Student Data Protection as Foundational Infrastructure

Student data privacy is not a feature to be added after the fact — it is an architectural constraint that must be encoded into every data flow, access control, and third-party relationship from the outset. Mainm's compliance framework treats FERPA, COPPA, and applicable state student privacy laws as first-class engineering requirements, not legal checkboxes.

We maintain a continuously updated inventory of every student data element flowing through our integrations, enforce purpose-limitation controls that prevent unauthorized secondary use, and produce the audit documentation your board, legal counsel, and state education agency need.

Student applications
Student-Facing Applications

Purpose-Built Applications That Students Actually Use

District portals built for administrators rarely serve students well. Mainm designs and engineers student-facing applications from the ground up around the real workflows of secondary students — accessing schedules, checking grades, navigating campus resources, and communicating with teachers — on the devices and in the contexts where students actually are.

Every application is built as a progressive web app requiring no App Store approval, optimized for the low-end Chromebooks that most schools issue, and authenticated against your existing identity provider so students never manage a separate password.

Implementation & Support

A Delivery Model Built Around District Success, Not Contract Milestones

The EdTech industry has conditioned districts to expect implementation projects that run over schedule, deliver partial scope, and disappear at go-live. Mainm operates differently. Every engagement is staffed with a dedicated implementation engineer who owns the technical relationship from discovery through production stability — and who is measured by the same SLA your district holds us to.

We don't hand off documentation. We staff ongoing technical support with the same engineers who built the integration, because context continuity is the single largest predictor of resolution speed when issues arise.

Staged rollout methodology with feature flags enabling controlled exposure and instant rollback capability

Our Story

Built by People Who Ran District Technology

Mainm Education Solutions was founded because the people building EdTech rarely had to live with the consequences of their architectural decisions. We started inside districts. We know what breaks at 7:45 AM on the first day of school.

Education
Mission & Vision

The Conviction That Drives Every Engagement

Technology should serve the educational mission — not create a secondary administrative burden that consumes the institutional capacity needed to actually teach students.

Our Mission

To eliminate the data infrastructure failures that divert district attention, budget, and talent away from instructional improvement — by building integration systems so reliable they become invisible.

Our Vision

A K–12 technology landscape where every teacher, administrator, student, and family has access to accurate, timely, and actionable information about learning — delivered through systems that just work.

Our Commitment

To operate as a long-term institutional partner, not a transactional vendor — measuring our success by district outcomes years after implementation, not by contract close rates.

Our History

From District IT to National Platform

2018

Founded in the field

Armin Farman, after a decade as a district technology director, founds Mainm to solve the integration problems he encountered firsthand. First engagement: a PowerSchool-to-Schoology grade sync for a single New York district.

2019

Schoology developer certification

Mainm obtains official Schoology developer credentials and publishes the first version of its multi-tenant integration platform. Expands to five district clients across three states.

2021

Analytics platform launch

Following district requests for consolidated visibility, Mainm launches its district analytics layer — aggregating SIS and LMS data into role-appropriate dashboards. Reaches 50 district clients.

2023

Student applications division

Expands into student-facing application development, launching the first Mainm-built PWA serving 80,000 secondary students across eight districts. Ed-Fi alliance membership obtained.

2025

Enterprise scale

Mainm now serves 500+ schools across 40+ districts, with over one million students on Mainm-integrated platforms. Pursuing Schoology enterprise partner designation and expanding compliance framework to cover all 50-state student privacy law landscape.

Operating Principles

The Standards We Hold Ourselves To

Not aspirational statements crafted for marketing materials — the actual criteria by which we evaluate every technical and commercial decision.

01

Student-first architecture

Every data flow, access control, and user interface decision is evaluated first by its impact on students. Operational efficiency is a secondary objective, never a primary one.

02

Radical transparency

Districts receive complete documentation of what data we access, how it flows, where it is stored, and who can see it. No opaque middleware, no undisclosed third-party sharing.

03

Production standards without exception

We do not deploy to production environments without automated testing, rollback procedures, monitoring coverage, and documented incident response. Not even for small districts.

04

Context continuity in support

The engineer who built your integration is the engineer who answers your support ticket. We do not route district issues through tiered helpdesk agents reading from scripts.

05

Long-arc partnership

We price our engagements to create room for ongoing investment in your integration's health. Single-year contracts that maximize year-one revenue at the expense of years two and three are not our model.

06

Equity as a design constraint

We build for the median device and the median network connection in your district — not the best. Applications that only work well on high-end hardware in high-bandwidth environments serve your most advantaged students disproportionately.

Common Questions

Before You Reach Out

How long does a typical implementation take?

A single LMS or SIS integration typically reaches production in 4–8 weeks following a completed discovery engagement. Multi-platform implementations run 10–16 weeks. We have never missed a go-live date tied to a school year start.

Do you require multi-year contracts?

We offer both annual and multi-year agreements. Multi-year contracts carry meaningful price advantages and are required for the Enterprise tier, but we do not require them for Foundation or Professional engagements.

Can you work with our existing IT staff?

Yes — and we prefer it. District IT staff have institutional knowledge that accelerates implementation and makes the resulting integration more durable. We document everything to district standards so your team can maintain and extend the work independently.

Are you on state or cooperative purchasing contracts?

We are in the process of obtaining NYSCA and NASPO contracts and can be engaged through existing district sole-source or RFP processes in the interim. Our legal team can support procurement documentation requirements.
