THE BUSINESS CHALLENGE. THE CHANGE. THE RESULT.
The change
The division adopted OutSystems, created shared responsive patterns and integrations, and delivered a first portal containing summer-school registration.
The outcome
The source reports the initial portal delivered within six months by a five-developer team. Much of the early work established reusable foundations; migrating the remaining portfolio was a future step.

DIGITAL ALCHIMIA’S DELIVERY PERSPECTIVE
What could this approach unlock for your business?
The useful next step is to connect the story to your own operating reality. Here are the questions we would bring into that conversation.
01
Use the first enrollment journey to prove the shared foundations.
Identity, student records and registration rules affect more than one application. Define those relationships alongside the first useful portal release. OutSystems professionals can reinforce delivery while the school team builds a foundation that later services can adopt without repeating the same integration work.
02
Make the family’s next action visible across services.
A common entry point helps when users can understand which opportunities are available and what an application needs next. Review language, status and handoffs with service owners. Keep the scope of each delivered enrollment clear as the wider portfolio evolves.
