Career manager: modernize to grow

At universities, everything begins in the same place: the curriculum.

From there, programs, courses, equivalencies, degrees, and the academic journeys of thousands of students are defined. But when that management depends on rigid, inflexible, and hard-to-scale systems, innovation becomes an uphill battle.

That was the challenge faced by a major argentine university. Its legacy program manager, while functional, was no longer up to the standards of an institution that needed to grow, deliver new digital experiences, and support increasingly complex academic processes.

What started as a straightforward request — “we need a program manager” — ended up becoming the most strategic project of all: the creation of a comprehensive system that is now the digital heart of the university’s ecosystem.

Co-creation from scratch: from an initial request to a strategic solution

The challenge wasn’t just technological, it was about process design. The Bitlogic team worked on a discovery process alongside the university’s academic and technology areas, analyzing how programs were structured, what rules defined courses, and how that data fueled other processes.

The key was sitting at the table with the client and transforming a simple requirement into a robust, scalable product that not only replaced the legacy system but also enhanced every student interaction with the university.

A modern, agile, and connected manager

The new Program Manager enabled the university to digitize and simplify tasks that were previously scattered across spreadsheets or manual processes. Today, from a single application, the university can:

• Create and edit programs, curricula, and courses.
• Define degrees, intermediate degrees, and specializations.
• Configure prerequisite rules and workload requirements.
• Associate syllabi and content later used in exams and equivalency processes.
• Manage the lifecycle of curricula (draft, approved, published).
• Instantly export and consult academic plans.

All of this is built on a modern, scalable architecture on AWS, ready to support the university’s growth.

The impact: the core that connects everything

The true value of this solution lies in its day-to-day impact. The Program Manager is now the university’s digital academic core, as it integrates with every other process:

• Admissions consults active programs and curricula.
• Equivalencies and dual degrees automatically compare courses and syllabi.
• The exam portal uses the content loaded in each course.

In other words: every student interaction with the university is powered by the information managed in this system.

The differentiator: understanding the business before the code

The success of this project wasn’t just about technology. The real differentiator was deeply understanding the academic business: how programs are designed, how curricula are approved, and how every change impacts the student experience.

Thanks to that collaborative work, the Program Manager is not just an application—it’s the engine that enables the university to scale, innovate, and ensure that every student has a clear, reliable, and digital academic journey.
