How Can We Help You?
Digital Transformation
Universities face several challenges when updating their legacy systems including data security and compliance, cloud migration, and managing ongoing costs. Infuse has significant experience in helping universities with Digital Transformation projects, achieving significant reductions in operational costs and improving performance by over 40%.
Efficiency and Revenue Savings
With funding opportunities dwindling across Higher Education, finding ways to save money and drive efficiency in your software delivery is paramount. We have a range of solutions that can help you to achieve this including our ICM Framework, Test Automation and Test Environment Services.
Student Recruitment
The impact of a poorly prepared and managed clearing process can be significant, leading to lost revenue and frustrated students. Our unique 4-step testing framework can ensure that your systems are ready for your next clearing period, minimising risks and maximising revenue.
Student Experience
As your Student Record Systems provide core services across the university, updates and integrations with other systems can pose challenges. Our range of testing services for Tribal SITS, Ellucian Banner and Technology1 Student Record Systems can help you navigate these complexities smoothly.

SOFTWARE TESTING AND QUALITY ENGINEERING
The quality of a universities digital systems can be the key difference between satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Infuse provides innovative, right-sized cost effective solutions that will sustain quality and continually enable HEI’s to improve student outcomes and satisfaction. Our services encompass Test Management and Test Teams, Performance Testing and Engineering, and Continuous Testing.
CLEARING SYSTEMS AND TELEPHONY VALIDATION
Clearing is an intense business period where huge loads are placed on the telephony network, internal infrastructure and social media platforms for UK Universities. It is imperative that call handling, communication as well as messaging between call handler and the student is flawless thus ensuring the business opportunity in Clearing is realised for maximum benefit for all parties.
CLOUD MIGRATION TESTING
One of the common mistakes we have seen in Cloud Migration is institutions lifting and shifting to Cloud using large virtual machine instances. This approach misses the many benefits of running on cloud such as elastic scale on demand and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) which can deliver better performance whilst at the same time reducing costs and operational overhead.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION AND ARCHITECTURE
The majority of third level institutions, in our experience, have developed an ‘accidental’ point to point hub and spoke integration architecture centred on their SIS system. This can be a real blocker to cloud migration and strategic modernisation initiatives. A properly designed integration strategy using technologies such as event streaming or enterprise service bus can move your organisation forwards and unlock opportunities to improve the student experience.
