Universitat Oberta de Catalunya
Updated: Sep 2
Universitat Oberta de Catalunya was created in 1995 as the world's first university with a virtual campus.
As a world-renowned pioneer in online learning, UOC has always been at the forefront of digital higher education. To support their growing community and continue delivering a world-class learner experience, UOC partnered with RIO Education to modernize their core Student Information System (SIS) architecture on Salesforce.
Phase 1: Empowering Lifelong Learners
This initial go-live phase focuses on UOC’s Continuing Education (CP) programs. Designed specifically for working professionals and lifelong learners, these flexible programs require an equally agile administrative engine.
By launching RIO Education for CP programs, UOC is now leveraging a modern, cloud-native system to:
Streamline Learner Lifecycles: Deliver a seamless digital journey from application and registration through to course management.
Reduce Administrative Effort: Automate complex program workflows so staff can focus on high-touch student support.
Future-Proof Infrastructure: Establish a flexible foundation built on Salesforce that easily scales with institution-wide growth.
Looking Ahead
Successfully taking UOC’s CP programs live marks the first big step in a transformational partnership. As Phase 1 establishes a proven foundation, we look forward to deepening our collaboration with the UOC team and expanding capabilities across the university's broader academic ecosystem.
"Partnering with a digital pioneer like UOC validates the strength of our flexible, cloud-native platform. We are honoured to support their mission of making quality education accessible throughout a learner’s lifetime."— The RIO Education Team
