They provide SmarterMeasure Learning Readiness Indicator, serving over 500 client schools across the U.S. and Canada. In mid-2015, SmarterServices began the process of researching global markets in which to launch the readiness assessment. Prepared with research and development provided to them by partners, MainLine Equity Partners, they chose to start in the Latin American Market (LAM) having exponential growth potential. Alan Manley, Director of Business Development-LAM, was excited to lead the expansion effort.
