Education industry

eductaional image Educational organisations across the globe struggle to meet an increasingly broad and diverse range of needs for students with limited, even decreasing funding. Now, more than ever, educational institutions rely on technology to support management, student communication and e-learning initiatives as well as to attract the new intake of students.

Compelling issues facing the education industry today include:

Increased student, business and government demands for quality and accountability
Obtaining debt funding for new capital (building and equipment) and programme developments
Increasing reliance on non-government funding
Increasing level of commercial investment in tertiary level education
Emergence of global excellence as a benchmark for performance
Enhancing management and governance capability
Greater use of technology for teaching delivery
Improving operating efficiency and better use of limited resources
Increased fragmentation of funding sources
Alliances to obtain economies and to improve quality

The need to protect valuable competitive information and organisational assets whilst decreasing costs is key. Data collection, onsite surveillance, campus safety, network connectivity and security and confidentiality of strategic meetings and conversations are all typical issues for an educational organisation security manager to address.

The educational industry is seeking typically to see a ROI on technological investments within 6-12 months. This can drive the requirement for innovative use of technological investments to create new profit centres and add new revenue streams. The need to protect this competitive information is also increasing.
