Challenges Facing Universities Businesses

Problems that custom web development solves.

Student information systems (Callista, Banner, Ellucian) are decades old; modernising student experience requires building alongside, not within.

TEQSA compliance, ESOS obligations for international students, and HESA reporting demand integrated data that packaged systems produce poorly.

Research administration - grants, ethics, publications - operates in separate systems that researchers find cumbersome.

Alumni engagement platforms lag behind consumer social tools; alumni giving underperforms in part because of this.

Solutions We Build for Universities

Custom applications tailored to your industry needs.

Student Experience Modernisation

Student-facing platforms (enrolment, timetabling, results, services) built over SIS APIs with modern UX the core system cannot deliver.

International Student Compliance

ESOS-compliant onboarding, visa status tracking, and attendance monitoring integrated with existing university systems.

Research Administration

Grant, ethics, and research output management with researcher-friendly UX and executive reporting tailored to university needs.

Universities Compliance

University digital platforms must comply with TEQSA (Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency) Act requirements and the Higher Education Standards Framework. Student data must be handled in accordance with Australian Privacy Principles and relevant state privacy legislation.

Our Development Process

A proven process that delivers results on time and on budget.

1

Discovery and Architecture

We map your business requirements, user flows, and system integrations. This produces a technical architecture and project plan.

2

Rapid Prototyping

A working prototype is delivered within 2 weeks so you can see the application taking shape and provide feedback early.

3

Iterative Development

Features are built in two-week sprints with regular demos. Each sprint delivers working functionality you can test.

4

Integration and Testing

Your application is connected to existing systems and put through rigorous automated and manual testing.

5

Deployment and Monitoring

We deploy to production with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and alerting. 3 months of post-launch support included.
