The Time for Modernizing is Now.
There’s no escaping the current digital transformation in higher education, even if you wanted to. It’s impacted every student, educator, administrator and staff member on Earth, picking up particular speed in the past few years and forcing leaders to reform just about every element of the learning experience.
At the forefront of the transformation? Technology — leaving IT teams with no choice but to lead the way and forge the best path forward for their colleges and universities. There’s just one problem. A paradox exists in that while there’s more pressure than ever on higher education institutions to evolve and innovate, the systems in place just aren’t up to snuff.
The good news is, the options to modernize are applicable to a range of situations, capabilities and budget constraints. Some aging facilities may need improvements such as more space, more efficient cooling, or more flexible power infrastructure. Others could benefit from standing up new microdata centers or even large-scale central data facilities. The point is, modernization can be scalable. You just have to pick the path that works best for you.
In this eBook, we’ll cover the following topics:
- Higher education trends driving the need to modernize
- The benefits of modernizing IT infrastructure
- The steps you can take to modernize
