PROGRAM: TECHNOLOGY MODERNIZATION
Fix the legacy systems your team inherited
Most institutions are not starting from scratch. They are dealing with cloud environments, identity systems, and integrations that were built quickly and are now hard to manage, secure, or extend.
Unicon helps you understand what you have, fix what is breaking, and move to an environment your team can operate with confidence.
Where yesterday’s tech start to break down
Cloud accounts, integrations, and identity systems grew without a clear structure and are now difficult to document or secure.
Security findings keep stacking up, but no one owns the remediation plan.
Access, provisioning, and authentication are inconsistent across systems.
Integrations are custom, fragile, and expensive to maintain.
Mergers, platform changes, or leadership transitions introduce risk that has never been fully mapped.
An assessment, a plan, and an environment rebuilt around it
Engage2Learn's flagship eSuite application was already running in AWS. What the organization needed was the expertise to know whether it was running the right way, and a plan to close the distance.
Unicon assessed the environment against AWS Well-Architected Framework principles, then developed and implemented the modernization work that followed. That included a Well-Architected VPC redesign, backup modernization, and business continuity and disaster recovery on native AWS services, with multi-Availability Zone architecture and CloudFormation-managed infrastructure.
Delivery changed alongside the architecture. AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy replaced less mature release processes, starting with proof-of-concept deployments in a non-production environment before moving to production.
How we get you to today’s tech
1. Understand your environment
Get a clear view of what exists today.
Unicon documents systems, dependencies, access patterns, and known risks. The output is a systems map and a prioritized remediation plan leadership can act on immediately.
3. Stabilize identity and access
Fix the systems that control who has access to what.
Unicon addresses provisioning, deprovisioning, federated access, and multifactor authentication. The result is a consistent, documented identity model your team can operate and maintain.
2. Standardize how systems connect
Replace one-off integrations with patterns that scale.
Unicon defines and implements standards-based interoperability approaches so systems can work together without constant rework. This reduces maintenance overhead and supports multi-campus or statewide environments.
4. Rebuild your infrastructure foundation
Move from fragile cloud setups to environments designed to scale.
Unicon designs and implements cloud architecture, network structure, and multi-account strategies that are secure, maintainable, and aligned to how your organization actually operates.
5. Hand off a system your team can run
Make sure you are not dependent on outside help.
Unicon defines the operating model, support approach, and documentation needed for your internal team to take ownership. If needed, support tiers are available, but the goal is independence.
What progress looks like with Unicon
|
30 days |
You have a documented systems map, dependency inventory, and a prioritized remediation plan that leadership can use to make decisions. |
|
90 days |
Remediation is underway. Identity, infrastructure, or data foundations are stabilized, and governance and access controls are clearly defined. |
|
6 months |
Your environment is operating on a stable, scalable foundation. Your internal team is running it. Optional support is in place if you want it. |

Bringing order to a fragmented AWS environment
A large multi-campus community college system had built up a set of AWS environments over time with no central structure. Connectivity between accounts was inconsistent, and security gaps were becoming harder to track and address.
Unicon mapped the existing environment and designed a hub-and-spoke network architecture using AWS Transit Gateway. This replaced the ad hoc connections between accounts with a single, managed approach that could scale across the institution.
The new architecture gave the college a more stable and secure foundation. Just as important, the internal team was able to take over and operate the environment independently, without relying on ongoing external support.
