This transition enabled the institution to use the latest version of UDOIT, which presented significant challenges due to limited documentation and minimal external resources. Although the UDOIT project, an open-source initiative by the University of Central Florida (UCF), is generally hosted by a third-party company for deployment, hosting, and management, this institution opted for an independent, self-managed solution, allowing their small team to control the setup and documentation for future scalability and adaptability.
