Case Study: University of Sussex achieves real-time e-assessments and streamlined data integration with Boomi

University of Sussex Redefines Digital Learning With Boomi

The University of Sussex, a UK institution serving 19,000+ students worldwide, launched a cloud‑first “Sussex 2025” strategy to build a digital campus but was hampered by a hybrid IT landscape. On‑premises legacy student records, isolated departmental databases and opaque finance systems created data silos and integration challenges that blocked secure, real‑time access to course materials and assessments.

Sussex adopted Boomi’s low‑code, cloud‑native integration platform to connect Canvas with on‑premises systems, manage APIs for its e‑assessment site, and accelerate cloud migration. The result is a real‑time e‑assessment portal integrated with the student record system and roughly 20,000 records processed daily, supporting the university’s broader digital‑learning objectives.
