The TIER Consortium provides the investment needed for all partner institutions to adopt the flexible learning technologies. In all services offered to TIER partner institutions, M8 Global and partners invest millions of dollars of cumulative net negative cash over the medium term. This investment allows the project partnership to achieve the quality and scale necessary to drive a positive impact for institutions locally and internationally. We continue to support institutions through the rest of the long-term (20 years or more) commitment, earning a return on its investment over that time.
