FINAL WORD
Since 2019 , we ’ ve been conducting annual surveys of around 1,000 Australian students . We have witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of students prepared to change their place of learning for a better technological experience .
From administration to education , benefits all around
While happy students are a vital piece of the education puzzle , so too are happy employees .
Institutions that are already investing in SaaS solutions are noticing a significant increase in the efficiency and effectiveness of administrative functions . This means staff can be more productive , spend less time on repetitive , manual tasks , and use their skills for what they were intended : to add value and support students .
The use of modern and easy-to-use technologies is also proving a successful way to attract and retain teaching and support staff , a real competitive advantage considering the current skills shortages .
Cost-saving lessons
The tertiary education sector has long been reliant on technology that requires significant hardware investment as well as ongoing budget for maintaining on premise infrastructure .
Beyond the end-user experience , SaaS solutions provide educational institutions with more resilience , flexibility and streamlined processes , enabling them to function more effectively and take advantage of cost-effective scalability and accessibility – allowing institutions to adapt rapidly to evolving technology trends .
Moving to the cloud lightens the load for the IT team and is a great way to enable universities and other higher education institutions to re-invest what they save on IT spends in areas that will instead support better educational outcomes .
