Filling the IT and digital skills gaps for your University
It is rare for any establishment to have the in-house resources to write a business case, design a strategy, develop software, architect a solution or seamlessly migrate data. Industry wide funding restrictions have translated into oversubscribed teams and difficulty in hiring niche job roles.
Working with Aire Logic means you are tapping into a socially driven, employee owned business, who value and invest in their people and talent. Your projects will benefit from an injection of talented and happy specialists with deep university domain knowledge. Guided by one principal consultant, you will have the same team throughout the project, so we can build a close partnership and share our knowledge.

Problems/Concerns/Issues in the Higher Education sector
World ranking tables and maintaining / improving position
We understand the volume of applications from students (particularly foreign students) has a direct correlation with a university’s placement on league tables and whilst this is not the only (or most significant factor) it also directly contributes to the economic well-being of the organisation, as foreign students pay approximately 3 times as much as home students.
Demonstrating Sustainability
A growing element of the attractiveness of universities is their sustainability. This is becoming increasingly important to prospective students and so ensuring that sustainability is at the forefront of the strategy is becoming increasingly important. The digitisation of services can play a large role in managing costs and reducing energy demands, and recognises that delivering services in this manner is both economically viable and environmentally sustainable.
Areas we will help you excel in
Legacy migration
Escalating licence costs ? Technically skilled people leaving/retiring ?
Many organisations have faced issues with a lack of investment, which has led to legacy software and hardware where costs increase and skills disappear. We have services to help you understand how to manage these risks, how to plan migrations to minimise disruption and even technical expertise on what to migrate to, to support your objectives.
The what, when, and how of “cloud”
Cloud isn’t for everyone or for every use case. We have experienced professionals who can support you in the decision making of what makes sense, the tradeoffs and implications of moving to Cloud based services and whether it is right for you. Maybe cloud isn’t right for you right now, but you’re still looking for a more cost effective way of managing hardware and software services going forwards? We can help you find the right answer for your business.
Becoming Agile
Moving towards being Agile, is a lot more than running sprints, creating user stories and delivering rapid software changes, it’s a mindset, a set of habits and a way of operating across your organisation.
The question is whether you know what it truly means to be agile, are you ready for that transformation ? We have many people who lead this kind of change and can help you assess what it means for your people (not just those in IT), what you can expect to happen and how it can help across your organisation to truly deliver incremental change and continuous improvements.
