a leading australian university modernizes 150+ PHP applications with Sigma Infosolutions

A leading Australian university faced challenges with its legacy PHP applications, which were built on outdated Core PHP and CodeIgniter frameworks. These systems lacked scalability, performance, and modern security, hindering the institution's digital transformation goals. To address this, the university partnered with Sigma Infosolutions for a comprehensive application modernization initiative.

Sigma Infosolutions migrated the university's suite of applications to the modern Laminas framework and Azure cloud. The solution included moving storage to Azure Blob, implementing Azure SSO for authentication, and replacing file-based operations with RESTful APIs. This modernization by Sigma Infosolutions resulted in a future-ready platform with significantly improved performance, scalability, security, and ease of maintenance, enabling seamless integration and stronger collaboration across the university.
