ACS have used the UoE hosted Kx system since 2005 for the management of student accommodation, event management, commercial accommodation (hotels and summer lets), and also event catering. The majority of ACS revenue generating business is managed through the Kx system.

This project has been set-up to manage the migration of the system including the associated applications and database from on-premises to supplier hosted infrastructure and therefore delivering more of a cloud based solution overall.

The project will involve migrating all data currently hosted on UoE databases to Azure cloud infrastructure hosted by Kinetics, amend existing endpoints to People & Money (using WSO2) and Student Systems. The overall changes that are required to be undertaken by ISG technical SME's is viewed as non-complex by Enterprise Architecture.

A lift and shift approach will be used which will reduce risk overall to the implementation, however further integration related work will be required on future projects with Kinetics.
