NexPort Solutions - Empowering Partners, Streamlining Learning

who is Nexport solutions

NexPort Solutions, a division of Darwin Global, LLC., provides innovative, cost-effective online training, education, software solutions and support for federal, state and local governments, as well as the private industry. A few of our partners can be seen on our partners page.​

NexPort Solutions offers three flexible, highly integrated, products: NexPort Campus, NexPort Marketplace and NexPort Analytics. NexPort Campus, our flagship, is a learning and knowledge management system that allows partners to deliver online training with little effort. NexPort Marketplace is a best in class, web based, storefront and point of sale system that allows our partners to sell and distribute training and other products online. NexPort Analytics provides our partners with custom reporting and business intelligence capabilities to help them better manage their training requirements and students enrolled in their curriculum. Furthermore, Analytics provides administrators and instructors with the ability to view both the pace of a student’s enrollments and the completion status of a section for individual students.

Together these three products comprise the NexPort Learning Platform. The NexPort Learning Platform allows our partners to move forward quickly, sparing them the burden of technology ownership and upkeep, while empowering them with innovation, resources and flexible deployment alternatives for their online training and education operations.

Nexport solutions philosophy

Our mission is to deliver partner-centered solutions that leverage resources like never before.

NexPort is committed to working with partners delivering solutions that improve the performance of individuals and the organizations for which they work. The just-in-time online availability of training and educational resources, coupled with communications tools and content creation and maintenance tools, provides an environment in which performance migrates to a higher sustainable level. The NexPort hosted environment moves your human capital forward without placing demands on your financial capital.

Engineering team philosophy

The NexPort Solutions’ engineering philosophy is simple, we value working software and happy customers more than anything else.

We hire world-class software engineers and developers and provide them with the best tools and the best working environment we can.

We are a pragmatic shop that adheres to a SCRUM-like agile release cycle.  We believe strongly in continuous integration, test-driven development and collective code ownership. This means that we remove human error by automating our builds, and we identify problems quickly by integrating often (continuously).

Our developers work closely with our quality assurance team and end users to ensure that we produce the right features at the right time. Our release cycle always begins with a week of release planning and ends with a feature freeze and retrospective. By working closely with other stakeholders and working iteratively, we are able to embrace change and shift priorities quickly and effectively.

quality assurance & testing philosophy

Get the best possible testing results with the least amount of work through the use of agile, user acceptance, manual, automated, exploratory, functional and regression testing methods. QA is able to verify the application’s design functionality meets the business and user needs.

NexPort Solutions QA tests to ensure usability, compatibility, efficiency and effectiveness across supported platforms (i.e. browsers, OSs, installation and help files). Test from the beginning of the start of the project and continually testing throughout the project life cycle, with testers being actively involved in the development process and  an open line of communication and collaboration with all stakeholders.

We test early and often, with an emphasis on customer satisfaction and the finished product and optimizing the quality and value of the software.

We’re responsive to changing requirements, own processes without being encumbered, are flexible and offer a streamlined approach that complements the speed of development. We offer continuous integration and improvements and follow the Agile Software Development Manifesto.
