AI-First Engineering Partner

The admissions portal in January defines the academic year

+7 enterprise universities across LATAM build their admissions, student self-service, and multisite ecosystems with esinergia.

View case studies Let's talk

A portal outage during enrollment season isn't measured in downtime hours. It's measured in students who didn't complete their admission.

University IT teams spend more time resolving integration gaps between systems than building new capacity.

Migrations in higher education are systematically underestimated. What's planned for eight months typically closes in two years.

Enterprise universities operate ecosystems of legacy portals carrying technical debt that governance can't contain.

These aren't hypotheses. They are the real operating conditions of enterprise universities across LATAM. A partner with sector judgment enters the diagnosis with that reality already understood and with the method to resolve it.

The sector from the inside

What we know about your reality

16 years working with universities in Colombia, Chile, and Peru taught us where the real problems of the sector are.

The IT budget is consumed by maintenance, not innovation

Between 35% and 40% of university IT budgets are consumed maintaining legacy systems nobody wants to touch. The team that should be building the future is putting out fires from the past.

The portal doesn't talk to the SIS, the LMS, or the ERP

The student who needs an academic certificate goes through four separate systems that don't share data. That's not a technical problem, it's an experience problem measured in retention rates.

The pressure to digitize arrived before the strategy

The board asks about AI. The chancellor asks about AI. But the data ecosystem isn't clean, systems aren't integrated, and there's no clear roadmap of where to start. 89% of LATAM universities plan to implement AI before 2026, only 12% have a documented strategy. (Educause, 2023)

Every migration takes twice as long as planned

University migrations are systematically underestimated. The LATAM average without a specialized partner is 18 to 24 months. With the right partner, it drops to 8 to 12 months. The difference isn't technology, it's accumulated sector experience. (Gartner, 2022)

30 months without downtime. That doesn't happen by accident

Universidad de La Sabana has maintained continuous operation on its digital platform for more than 30 months, handling enrollment traffic peaks without incidents. That result doesn't come from a specific technology, it comes from resolving the integration and architecture problems that others postponed for years. That's the difference between a vendor who implements and a partner who understands how a university actually works.

What we build for universities

Specific solutions for the academic lifecycle, not generic implementations adapted to the sector.

Institutional portal & admissions

Portals optimized for prospective student capture and enrollment conversion. Integrated with the SIS so prospects don't have to re-enter their data at every step.

Student self-service

Secure intranets that centralize certificates, administrative procedures, and institutional communication. Fewer calls to the helpdesk, more autonomy for the student.

Multisite governance

Centralized control with local autonomy for faculties, departments, and campuses. One design system and one technical governance framework for dozens of portals.

Semantic search and academic agents

Semantic search, content agents, and experience personalization, built on the platform you already have, not on new infrastructure.

The context behind the urgency

Verified data from the higher education market in LATAM.

89%

Of LATAM universities plan to implement AI before 2026, but only 12% have a documented strategy. (Educause, 2023)

34%

Of Latin American universities have a portal integrated with admissions, financial, and academic systems. (Universia, 2022)

8-12

Months of implementation with a sector-specialized partner, vs. 18-24 months without sector experience. (Gartner, 2022)
