Bardo HR software for education

Making professional growth visible

For Bardo, we developed MijnBardo: HR software and a digital learning environment for professionals in primary, secondary, special and vocational education. It helps employees develop their skills and make their progress visible, with better education as the goal.

Together, we built a scalable SaaS platform with usability at its core. More than 120 competency profiles help schools develop as learning organisations.

Bardo and GlobalOrange have worked together for more than ten years, continuously developing the product and exploring new applications.

Making development visible

Education professionals gain tools to develop their competencies and show their progress. MijnBardo supports the development of both employees and the school.

Education in the cloud

Scalability, efficiency and maintainability guided the system design, giving Bardo room to keep developing the product.

Room for new applications

The product knowledge built through this collaboration provides a starting point for exploring other clients and sectors.

Success factors

UX

The UX designer studied how education professionals use the application. Working with Bardo, we translated those insights into a simple, useful interface.

Daily contact between Bardo and the development team helped us respond quickly to new features and changing requirements.

Continuous Delivery

Using Agile and Scrum, we improved the platform in short iterations. Usability and efficiency remained connected to Bardo’s goals.
