Brazil’s UNESP transforms its IT infrastructure to compete globally

Imagine a university shackled by slow, outdated tech - now picture it rivalling global giants in connectivity and innovation. That’s exactly what happened when São Paulo State University (UNESP) teamed up with Brazilian IT powerhouse RoostEdge to completely overhaul its IT infrastructure across 34 campuses in just 18 months; swapping clunky legacy systems for a lightning-fast, future-proof network that’s now the envy of universities worldwide. The secret? A powerhouse partnership between UNESP’s Director of Technology, Professor Ney Lemke and RoostEdge’s visionary CEO Eliezer Silveira Filho, proving that when academia and industry join forces, even the most ambitious digital transformations become reality. But here’s the kicker - this isn’t just a win for UNESP; it’s a roadmap for any institution ready to ditch sluggish systems, attract top talent, and supercharge research with cutting-edge tech.



The programme is presented by Angelica Mari and the studio expert is Ania Lichtarowicz.
