A prestigious educational institution specializing in research and academic programs faced critical challenges due to its outdated on-premises IT infrastructure. The institution relied on legacy systems that struggled to support the growing volume of digital learning resources, student records, and research data. Additionally, frequent staff turnover led to the loss of institutional knowledge, complicating IT management and long-term planning. Rising operational costs further necessitated a transition to a more sustainable, cloud-based solution.
The institution's legacy IT infrastructure was costly to maintain, prone to performance bottlenecks, and incapable of scaling effectively to meet modern academic demands.
Maintaining physical servers and storage solutions required significant financial investment, and inefficiencies in resource allocation contributed to unnecessary expenditures.
