MyUW Transition to Salesforce Experience Cloud
The purpose of this project is to transition the MyUW portal experience from an outdated technology called uPortal to a supported enterprise platform Salesforce Experience Cloud. This platform allows the service to stay current with industry standards and the digital expectations of its users, furthering the ability to create individual and audience specific experiences for constituents at UW-Madison in its digital campus space.
