The challenge

Meeting high expectations and delivering the result

The challenge was to implement the production operation of the legacy application in one of the largest universities in Europe.

Furthermore, we had to meet expectations after only a few weeks, with the introduction of agile processes, a microservice architecture, automated software testing and a modern frontend framework.

Afterwards, we established ongoing further development of the new system and integration of the existing legacy systems together with the University of Vienna.

The solution

u:space, the modern university portal

The focus is on the development of various tools for students and teachers, with high quality, low costs, and safety in mind. In addition, a modern student ID card based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) was implemented.

Prospective students can register directly at u:space and apply for admission to a study program. Admission to Degree Programs is also possible, e.g. prospective and enrolled students can apply for admission to a new degree or a re-entry. The study overview comprises all classes students are admitted to or have completed and provides information about fees.
In the record of examinations, students can check their grades and progress in their studies.

In the My Documents overview, students can find and print documents such as certificates and payment slips. The registration system provides a convenient way for students to check relevant information related to their lectures and exams. Combined with the intuitive registration process, this makes handling registrations a breeze.

The interface for teachers is the main administration tool for courses and exams. It provides teachers with an overview of the students enrolled and the possibility of grading.
