Claim Back Your Team: The Rise of Managed Services in Higher Ed IT

By

Your key initiatives have a purpose. They forward the institution’s mission of learning and research. What’s keeping you back from moving your initiatives forward?  It’s very simple  – there is not enough time in the day to be strategic or to grow your talent base.  That is why many organizations are looking for experts to join the team – to help institute best practices and to drive forward some of the more impactful projects.

Many schools are finding that in order to alleviate resource constraints they are able to work with a partner who can take on a range of non-mission focused work from basic user administration to building out of workflows, dashboards, and client portals.  A true partner that is aligned with the longer term vision.

The ability to optimize your services by extending your team with a dedicated resource can help free up your time by managing basic activities or enhancing your service management output leveraging our domain expertise:

  • User Administration
  • Client Portal Creation / Build-outs
  • Dashboards & Reporting

IT Professionals within Higher Education face the challenge of trying to stay ahead while working with unpredictable funding cycles. In order to have a meaningful impact on the productivity and experience of their students, teachers, and administrative operators, the IT organization must be free from constraints. Managed Services will help organizations focus on what is really important – educating and preparing our future generations.

Are you facing challenges due to resource constraints?
