Enterprise integration Case study

University Project Registry & Integration

Digitising an Australian university's project lifecycle — guided concept briefs, an API for Microsoft Copilot, and organisational-knowledge AI.

  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Prisma
  • PostgreSQL
  • Microsoft Copilot
  • Power Automate
  • Playwright

An Australian university wanted to move its project lifecycle off Word templates and into a guided, data-driven process.

What we delivered

  • Guided concept briefs. A structured web form replaces the old document, starting with the ideation phase and designed to grow across the full project lifecycle.
  • Workflow integration. Integration with the university’s project management tooling.
  • An API for Copilot. A documented REST API (with an OpenAPI specification) lets Microsoft Copilot and Power Automate read and create records, so staff can work from the tools they already use.
  • Organisational knowledge. A curated knowledge base, with an AI authoring assistant and Copilot access, so AI answers reflect the university’s own strategy and standards.
  • Confidence in every release. Automated unit tests and browser smoke tests, with saved test evidence for each run.
  • An API management demonstrator on Azure — a unified API front door over student and research services, with infrastructure as code, multi-stage pipelines and monitoring.
  • A research budget spreadsheet parser that reads budget workbooks and produces structured data ready to load into the finance system.
