The future of our link products

Last week we wrote to our technical contacts to confirm some important updates on the future of our link products.

Posted Wed 2 June 2021

We’ve confirmed ODBC-Link will be decommissioned in December 2023, and ODBC-Link customers should transition to XML-Link ahead of this date.

A new service called UCAS-Link is being developed as our ultimate API solution - it will become the single integration channel supporting the complete admissions process. As UCAS-Link will be built iteratively, providers will initially use a combination of XML-Link and UCAS-Link.

A roadmap to outline all the changes will be provided in due course. In the meantime, we will be holding a webinar for technical colleagues on 14 June between 13:00 – 14:00 to answer any questions.
