Whether its SITS, Moodle, Blackboard, or one of the alternatives - your student information system (SIS), and virtual learning environment (VLE) are among the most critical applications in your entire estate. Moving these key systems from trusted on-premises hardware to the cloud can appear daunting, even if they are running slowly, or getting harder for your team to maintain.
The good news is, you are not alone, and help is at hand. Many universities have already migrated these critical applications to the cloud, and have done so successfully, in relatively short timeframes. During this session you'll hear from other UCISA members on the process of migrating their SIS or VLE to the AWS Cloud, and the lessons they learned along the way.
• Hear from Queen Mary University of London, University of East London, London School of Economics, and Keele University on their experiences of migrating systems like SITS, Moodle, and Blackboard.
• Find out how to plan your migration, for minimal disruption and a seamless switch over.Â
• Understand how the cloud can help you enhance student data security, reduce management overheads, and improve students' experiences.Â
