Today, Higher Education establishments are under increasing pressure to keep up with major technology changes and developments that meet the needs of the University and students.

With change comes challenges and IT departments face an array of them when tasked with delivering better IT services more consistently:

  • Moving to cloud-based solutions
  • Scalability of Resources
  • Data Centre Efficiencies
  • Data Protection & Compliance
  • Improve performance
  • Cyber Security Challenges

A key challenge for most Universities is taking their complex IT systems that have grown organically over a number of decades and making them impactful and readily-available. Having to log into multiple systems to then engage with outdated and difficult interfaces no longer meets the expectations of students or supports teaching modules in an increasingly digital world.
