RM is about improving the life chances of people - worldwide - by delivering outstanding education products and services that help teachers to teach and learners to learn.  Since its foundation in 1973, RM has concentrated on the point where technology and education meet; exploiting the capacity of technology to improve teaching and learning. 

Since its very beginning RM has concentrated on making industry standard technologies accessible and appropriate in an educational environment. Our first computers used the then standard Z80 microprocessor and CP/M operating system. We launched our first MS DOS / Windows PC in 1985, making RM one of the first companies in the world to adopt the MS Windows standard. And since 1987 every new system introduced by RM has been compatible with industry standards. We have also pioneered the use of communications technologies, such as local area networks and the Internet, in education.

In the 1990s it became clear that the educational community was looking for more from their suppliers than simple technological expertise. RM rose to the challenge. Looking beyond the technology, the Group formed long-term partnerships with both educationalists and other learning technology companies. These partnerships allow us to deliver genuine learning productivity. It is a strategy that has worked, as our market leadership shows. RM's passion is education and its aim is to explore and exploit the potential of IT to improve educational standards. Today, RM is a group of educationally-focused companies providing a diverse range of education services.
