Modernising Admissions Platforms for Scale, Reliability and Cost Efficiency

University Admissions Centre (UAC) supports admissions services for 27 tertiary institutions across NSW and the ACT. While delivering a new Recognition of Prior Learning capability, UAC partnered with Argenti to modernise its cloud platform, reduce deployment risk and improve cost efficiency, creating a scalable foundation for future admissions services.

THE CHALLENGE

University Admissions Centre (UAC) manages admissions services for 27 tertiary institutions across New South Wales and the ACT, supporting thousands of student applications across multiple admission pathways.

As UAC delivered a new Recognition of Prior Learning capability, the underlying platform faced growing operational pressure. Manual deployment processes increased delivery risk, cloud infrastructure costs continued to rise, and the admissions system needed greater scalability and reliability to support future growth.

The challenge was to modernise a business-critical platform while it remained actively used and under continuous development.

WHAT ARGENTI DID

Argenti partnered with UAC to stabilise and modernise the platform without disrupting delivery timelines.

The team refactored key application components, redesigned cloud foundations and introduced modern engineering practices aligned to long-term scalability goals. Automated deployment pipelines replaced manual release processes, creating a more reliable and repeatable delivery model.

Argenti also optimised infrastructure sizing and cloud architecture, reducing unnecessary costs while improving operational resilience and platform performance.

The result was a modern platform foundation capable of supporting future admissions initiatives with greater confidence and efficiency.

OUTCOMES ACHIEVED

  • Achieved more than $3,000 in annual cloud savings per environment
  • Reduced deployment times from hours to minutes
  • Eliminated manual deployment activities and associated release risk
  • Increased engineering productivity through automation and standardisation
  • Improved platform reliability and operational resilience
  • Established a scalable cloud foundation for future admissions capabilities
  • Enabled continued delivery of new digital services without compromising stability
  • Improved cost visibility and infrastructure efficiency

"Argenti helped us modernise a critical platform while keeping delivery moving, reducing operational risk and creating a strong foundation for future growth."
