“Many Higher Education Institutions are currently struggling to keep up with the pace of change required in the digital age, with ineffective ways of working, further tied down by rising costs while key income streams are reduced in real terms.
Innovative tech, to provide the value proposition students demand in the digital age, while transforming aged, disconnected and legacy infrastructure, to reduce total cost ownership, is a necessity for a sustainable future. This report highlights the perception gap between institutions and the market that can provide the innovation institutions need, the cultural resistance to change that needs to be overcome, burdensome processes that can be streamlined and the opportunity of commercial focused constant market engagement with a collaborative approach.”
Our CEO, Luke Warren, also shares his thoughts on the report:
