Tilburg University was facing a significant challenge with an outdated integration landscape that was no longer supported. This resulted in high operational costs and limited possibilities for future connections. The university needed a scalable and easy-to-manage solution that met modern requirements. To address these challenges, it was decided to move to a future-proof integration platform based on Microsoft Azure.

Under the leadership of the IT Innovation Manager, an integral renewal project was started. The vision and approach focused not only on technological innovations, but also on organizational optimization. This resulted in a complete modernization of processes and systems, replacing legacy solutions with modern standard solutions.

IT Innovation Manager explains: "The project, carried out by AMIS Conclusion, included the migration from Oracle to Azure. This step was necessary to eliminate the backlog and complexity in the existing integration landscape. The employees of AMIS Conclusion made a major contribution by developing an integration layer that replaced point-to-point links. In addition, they have set up a modern DTAP environment. This provided a professional foundation and facilitated Tilburg University's transition to the cloud with Azure."

Thanks to a tight schedule and close cooperation, the project was successfully completed within five months. AMIS Conclusion took on the technical implementation, while the university appointed an experienced project leader to ensure coordination.

Result: efficient management and transparency in costs

The migration to Azure has led to a more efficient management of the integration landscape. Legacy systems have been completely phased out, and the new solution provides clear insights into the use of integration components by different departments. This makes it possible to now specifically allocate operational costs to different departments and identify unused elements in a timely manner. The result: a more conscious use of the activated integration components and improved operational efficiency.

Collaboration as the key to success

IT Innovation Manager continues: "The collaboration with AMIS Conclusion was very professional and decisive. Their experts looked beyond their own assignment and immediately took the initiative to implement improvements. At the same time, they ensured that the systems remained operational. Through their close coordination with our technical teams, they kept the focus on deadlines and the phasing out of the old systems. This led to a seamless transition."

Cost-effective modernization

Tilburg University's integration platform clearly shows that legacy systems can be successfully modernized using Microsoft Azure. The intensive collaboration between the experts at AMIS Conclusion and the university staff was crucial to achieving the set goals. The result is a flexible, cost-efficient and future-proof platform that not only structurally simplifies management, but has also significantly improved operational efficiency and transparency.
