The University of Manchester’s Digital Integration Transformation

About the Event

UCISA is proud to host a webinar featuring speakers from the University of Manchester, alongside integration experts from Cognizant and Boomi. This session will spotlight the University of Manchester's journey to modernize its digital infrastructure—transitioning from a fragmented, legacy-based integration landscape to a unified, scalable, and API-led ecosystem.

PJ Hemmaway, Chief Information Officer, from The University of Manchester will share firsthand how they are tackling the challenges of outdated batch processing, multiple middleware platforms, and complex data governance. Their story is one of strategic vision and practical execution, driven by the need to embrace cloud-first strategies, real-time event-driven models, and low-code/no-code platforms.

Attendees will gain a deep understanding of the University’s transformation roadmap, including its innovative data object-based migration strategy and plans to shift critical integrations for significant cost savings. The session will also showcase early wins—improved performance, streamlined error handling, and enhanced scalability.

Learn how The University of Manchester is leveraging Gen AI and Agentic AI to accelerate this complex migration, laying the foundation for a secure and future-ready integration framework in higher education.
