## Description
The University of Southampton is currently exploring a range of options to enhance the current and future state of its student information system. The current system acts as the primary source and hub of student information. Whilst the system has proven to be resilient and robust, it has over time been significantly modified to meet the stakeholder and compliance needs, as a consequence the bespoke technical developments no longer enable the delivery of transformation at the speed, agility and user experience Southampton University stakeholders expect.
