Managed services allows an institution to offload IT operations, freeing up resources for more strategic digital transformation initiatives.

How Can Managed Services Support Higher Ed's Digital Transformation?

<p>Just like commercial businesses, higher ed organizations must evolve and use technology more efficiently in order to improve operations and better address the needs of their customers—the students. But even as their reliance on IT grows, the resources to support an increasingly complex IT environment may not. In many colleges, IT resources are scarce and can be quickly overwhelmed with the day-to-day responsibilities of keeping mission-critical IT infrastructure up and running.</p>


Widespread use of technology in today’s society, rising computer costs and shifting student demographics, institutions may be left behind if they don’t embrace change and make the leap to cloud.

The new student is a digital native. Twenty percent are 30 or older. Many didn’t receive a traditional high school degree. Almost half are paying their own way. One in four is caring for a child. They can’t always attend school full time. They need flexibility in when and how they will learn.
