Session Type: Industry Led
Delivery Format: Industry and Campus-Led Session
CIOs face a seemingly contradictory challenge: reduce costs while delivering greater innovation. Cloud technologies have certainly helped, but genuine transformation goes beyond simply moving apps to the cloud. This is particularly true for higher education, especially with regard to cloud communication and collaboration. Advancements in this area are changing the way students engage with faculty and each other—across any device, anywhere, at any time. Cloud communication and collaboration technologies are also helping eliminate silos within organizations. Ultimately, these new technologies can make communication more secure, reliable, and frictionless—even in the event of a disaster. Of course, success depends on identifying a solution that adapts to and scales to your business. In this session, our panelists will discuss their cloud communication strategies and the impact these technologies have had on how they teach, build community, and improve productivity and efficiency.
