Client Background
A prestigious university with over 35,000 students across 26 campuses faced challenges due to its legacy IT infrastructure.
Challenge: Modernizing Legacy Systems for Agility
The university’s on-premise systems caused:
- Slow deployment of new academic platforms.
- Difficulty scaling during high-demand periods such as admissions.
- Compliance challenges with evolving government education regulations.
Solution: Phased Cloud Migration with AWS
- Migrated Moodle LMS and student administration systems to Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Adopted a pragmatic, phased modernization strategy instead of a complete overhaul.
- Ensured agility, resilience, and quick wins in system modernization.
Managed Services Engagement
To maintain operational excellence, the university partnered with a 24×7 managed services provider for:
- Proactive infrastructure monitoring.
- OS and security patch management.
- L1–L3 support for rapid incident resolution.
This freed the in-house IT team to focus on strategic educational initiatives.
Key Outcome
- System go-to-market time reduced from months to days.
- Achieved >90% acceleration in innovation and policy compliance.
