Higher Education

The education sector faces a diverse range of challenges.

The influx of new technologies, cloud computing and demands for new work styles from both students and staff have made the control of users and assets more complex than ever – more so given the high turnover of users in any one institution.

Increasing student fees have also created higher expectations, so universities and colleges are under pressure to remain competitive while tackling increasingly complicated IT concerns.

A high-scoring digitally-secure future

Educational institutions deal with huge volumes of data and commonly struggle during seasonal peaks with high levels of admissions, account activations and administration.

Outdated IT systems face strain.
Staff time is wasted on manual processes.
Paper-based procedures are prone to error.

And yet organisations are expected to remain competitive while reducing IT spending.
