Education

Academic institutions face growing pressures to use information technology to cultivate 21st century skills and deliver curriculum in more effective, flexible and innovative ways. But achieving these goals can be cost-prohibitive in settings where resource limitations abound. Schools need to provide teachers and students with access to the latest educational tools and resources in ways that are cost-effective, easy to use and support, and secure.

THE IT CHALLENGE

Efforts to bring educational technology into the classroom face numerous challenges, including: limited funding for hardware and software, generating a high student-to-computer ratio; a mixed computing environment of old and new devices and diverse operating systems, raising issues of compatibility and capacity, and; limited IT staff with inadequate time and resources for training and support. Compounding these cost- and technology- related challenges are the constantly evolving threats to the security of data and applications posed by a dispersed and unmanaged computing infrastructure.
