Case Study: Newcastle University achieves increased efficiency and agility for improved learning and research with Talend

Newcastle University Increasing efficiency and agility for improved learning and research

Newcastle University, a top-ranked UK institution serving tens of thousands of students and protecting around £100 million a year in research income, faced growing complexity from a large number of applications and departmental data silos. IT could no longer support endless custom point-to-point integrations and needed a more efficient, agile way to deliver innovative digital experiences and analytics for students, faculty and administrators.

By adopting Talend’s API-based integration platform, the University transitioned to an API-driven architecture that powered its virtual learning environment, integrated user touchpoint analytics into its BI tools, enabled students to access resources, submit assignments and find jobs, and securely share data with external partners. The implementation increased efficiency and agility, safeguarded research management, and became a durable, business-critical foundation for ongoing integration needs.
