Case Study: The University of Newcastle achieves agile placement disruption management with Sonia from Lumivero

University Successfully Adopts Agile Response to Major Placement Program Disruption

The University of Newcastle faced a major disruption to its student healthcare placement programs due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, requiring an efficient way to track changes and maintain historical data. The university partnered with Lumivero, leveraging its Sonia student placement software, to develop a swift and cohesive response to this unprecedented challenge.

Lumivero's support team worked directly with the university to quickly design and implement a customized solution within Sonia. This involved creating a dual-record system for managing and historically preserving placement data, which significantly reduced the team's manual workload and enabled easier, more robust reporting. The successful solution was rolled out university-wide and later shared with the global Sonia user community to help other institutions.
