The University of Portsmouth replaced a costly, underutilized legacy integration platform and a 120-130 point-to-point integration sprawl with Microsoft integration services. The university worked with Valorem Reply, used Azure Integration Services, Azure API Management and Azure Logic Apps, and introduced Agile, CI/CD, automated testing and new integration standards. The program is still in progress but has already deployed 9 production integrations and shortened delivery from 18-24 months to a target of 6-8 weeks.
