EDUCATION SECTOR CLOUD DRIVERS

The education sector is under mounting pressure to reduce its IT spend without impacting services, especially during key periods like exams. This demands a flexibility that traditional platforms simply cannot deliver. Learning establishments also undertake a wide variety of tasks that demand technical breadth, implementing new processes in traditional IT platforms is both expensive and time consuming. And finally, security – all institutes hold significant amounts of highly sensitive data that must be secured – the cloud offers a solution. Unlocking advanced AWS analytics gives you the ability to track student performance and key indicators – enabling truly personalised learning.
