Background
FNTIO was only a few months old at the time. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) urgently needed a digital system for remote schooling. The solution had to work immediately for thousands of schools. FNTIO joined the project team as an infrastructure partner to help build this platform.
Challenge
- Extreme timeline: < 1 month for 5,000+ schools
- Government requirements: open-source-based
- Highest data privacy standards for educational data
- Scaling from 0 to over 1 million users
Our Contribution
- AWS Infrastructure: Building and operating the cloud infrastructure within the project team
- Automatic Provisioning: Dedicated infrastructure per school, provisioned automatically
- Compliance-Ready: Highest standards for automation and data privacy
- Scalable: Architecture grows automatically with every new school
Why FNTIO?
FNTIO was only a few months old at the time. But the combination of AWS expertise and willingness to deliver under extreme time pressure made the difference. As a specialized infrastructure partner, we strengthened the project team.

Your Starting Point: Scalable Platform Under Time Pressure
You need a platform that has to work quickly for thousands of users? Compliance is mandatory but must not slow you down? Here is how we approach it.
Week 1: Clarify requirements, decide on architecture. No weeks-long assessment. We understand your compliance requirements, your user numbers, and your scaling needs. By the end of week 1, the architecture decision is made. As code, not as a document.
Week 2: Core platform running. Self-registration, automatic infrastructure provisioning, and basic functionality are live. First users can test. Scaling is built in, not bolted on.
Week 4: Productive for everyone. The system is running under load, monitoring is set up, compliance is verified. Rollout to all user groups can begin.
What LogineoNRW achieved: 5,000+ schools, 1 million+ users, all in under one month. Government-compliant. Open-source-based. Today we apply this experience in projects where we carry full responsibility, such as SiemensGPT or the HR Data Hub.
