We provide specialised integration for student and sponsor finance systems, ensuring that financial data is seamlessly managed and easily accessible.

Ongoing support & optimisation
We offer fully managed services to ensure that your Microsoft integrations remain optimised and healthy, providing continued support long after the initial implementation. From monitoring Azure performance to offering hands-on support for BizTalk solutions, we ensure your systems stay fully operational and efficient.

Custom Middleware solutions: eliminate vendor lock-in

Our custom middleware solutions are designed to break free from vendor lock-in, allowing your higher education institution to maintain control over data and integrations. With a custom-built enterprise data model, we enable the construction of a Medallion Tiered Data Lakehouse, a sophisticated data architecture that improves data quality and structure incrementally through three key layers: Bronze, Silver and Gold.

Benefits of our custom middleware solutions:

No vendor lock-in: Retain control of your valuable data, free from vendor-specific constraints.
Unified data architecture: Integrate diverse data sources into a single, unified data lakehouse, utilising Microsoft Azure and other systems like Microsoft BizTalk to ensure efficient, real-time data access.
Real-time reporting: Enable real-time reporting and data streaming for up-to-date insights, powered by our Microsoft integration services.
Flexible, tailored design: Our architecture is adaptable to your institution’s specific goals and requirements. This includes migrating from BizTalk to Microsoft Azure with minimal disruption.
