Case Study: University of Salford increases digital inclusion for students with Crimson's Microsoft Power Platform portal

University of Salford launches student funding in under 8 weeks with Crimson

The University of Salford, a public research university, faced a critical challenge when COVID-19 lockdowns closed its campus, leaving many students without the technology needed for remote learning. The university needed a rapid, secure, and scalable solution to manage high volumes of applications and coordinate device distribution. It partnered with vendor Crimson to deploy a solution using Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365.

Crimson delivered a comprehensive portal fully integrated with Dynamics 365 in under eight weeks. This solution enabled the university to process 1,186 student applications and distribute laptops, significantly enhancing digital inclusion and safeguarding academic outcomes during a challenging period.
