The Challenge
Universities face critical obstacles in digital transformation. Multiple disconnected data silos exist across administrative, academic, and research systems. Systems designed for corporations create steep learning curves. Enterprise solutions are expensive and inaccessible for public institutions. Each university builds isolated tools that cannot be shared across institutions.
At AGH, they recognised that existing solutions in the market were neither created by universities for universities, nor were they designed with the unique requirements of higher education in mind.
The Solution
We developed DSI.Portal - a comprehensive digital transformation platform that solves these problems through:
-
Unified Data Hub: A REST API-based platform connecting all existing systems without requiring replacement or modification of current architecture. Organizations get one coherent and reliable data hub.
-
AI-Powered Search: Uses LLM to help users find information across scattered systems, transforming buried knowledge into accessible resources.
-
Developer-Friendly Ecosystem: Created an easy-to-implement environment where organisation employees can extend the system themselves, using widely-known technologies (PHP, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
-
Beautiful UX: Built upon the most recent frontend technologies, leveraging beautiful design concepts to ensure adoption and ease of use.
-
Academic-First Design: A tool created by university for universities, with higher education needs as the core design principle.
