Streamlining Digital Infrastructure for Universities UK
The Problem
Universities UK (UUK), representing 142 institutions nationwide, relied heavily on Microsoft services like SharePoint and Azure Active Directory. This created:
Complex infrastructure
Frequent authentication issues
Inefficient processes for managing system access and updating content across multiple locations
The organisation needed a streamlined approach to improve efficiency and reduce administrative burdens.
The Idea
We conducted a detailed review of UUK’s infrastructure and developed a more integrated process for data and access management. By simplifying architecture and reducing reliance on Microsoft services, we could improve both user and admin experience.
The Outcome
Streamlined, integrated data management processes
Significant time savings for administrators
Reduced need for duplicate content updates across multiple platforms
A branded, user-friendly document repository aligned with UUK’s identity
Improved reliability and reduced authentication issues
