Free up Resources for Education
Reduced funding, rising costs, and increased competition are driving change across academic institutions. From private and public universities to community colleges, IT leaders are seeking ways to provide innovative approaches to teaching and administration with diverse student, faculty, and alumni populations while lowering costs and improving efficiencies.
Provide Secure Remote Access across a Variety of Devices
Student satisfaction is one of the critical success factors for a higher education institution. Universities serve a diverse mix of students with varying needs and requirements. To extend their reach, universities are attracting technology-savvy, older, part-time and work-based learners who want more flexible learning solutions and alternative forms of provision such as distance learning and the ability to study at their own time and place. Students and staff use a range of devices such as mobile terminals, smart phones, iPads and ebooks as universities continue to invest in new learning platforms and rich multimedia content. Universities depend on mobile end-user solutions to provide secure remote access to students and faculty, anytime and anywhere.
