Founded in 1998 by software engineers, Breakthrough Technologies (BT) builds web applications, K-12 and professional assessment solutions to address a wide variety of complex problems.

We leverage proven platforms, such as TAO and Drupal. We also deliver JavaScript, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and other end-to-end services. We are 100% based in the U.S. with offices north of Chicago, right next to Northwestern University.
