Cloud migration without ‘the fear’ – Practical insights moving a major VLE to AWS
Sometimes it’s easy to under-appreciate a virtual learning environment until you put it through a full cloud migration, modernisation, and the controlled chaos of peak student enrolment. Working with The Open University to migrate and modernise their Moodle-based platforms to AWS – including the core VLE, OpenSTEM Labs and OpenLearn – gave us a front-row seat to what it really takes to future-proof large-scale digital learning. This is not just a story about moving servers; it is about reshaping how learning experiences are delivered, operated and evolved. If you’re considering migrating your education platform to the cloud, here are some practical insights to help you approach the process with confidence and clarity.

Building a modern SIS and LMS: Custom where it counts
If you’ve ever tried to force an ‘out of the box’ monolithic student information system (SIS) or learning management system (LMS) into your university, you’ll no doubt have experienced for yourself the missed deadlines, fragile integrations, and a campus-wide chorus of “this isn’t what we asked for.” The good news? You don’t need another ‘Big Bang’ to create a solution that meets all your needs, and you probably don’t even need to rip out and replace your off-the-shelf solution either.

Modernising student services on a tight budget
Universities are under real pressure, with fewer students, tougher competition and some employers having growing doubts about the value of degrees. Nearly 40% of universities are running at a loss, making it vital to adapt while staying operational. For years, CIOs have been asked to transform digital capabilities without a dedicated transformation budget. Legacy platforms hinder, cybersecurity risks increase, and staff numbers dwindle, yet the expectation for swift progress still grows. And, as many CIOs quietly confess over coffee, senior leadership often still views technology as a cost rather than a strategic enabler. Universities know they need to attract global students with modern, accessible and multilingual experiences, but delivering all this isn’t easy, especially when many institutions are working with outdated systems and stretched resources.
