Higher education is a complex ecosystem. Companies that serve higher education, higher education institutions, and nonprofit associations all have crucial and intertwined roles supporting student, faculty, and staff success.

In this session, EDUCAUSE Showcase Series industry colleagues will join institutional leaders to discuss case studies regarding mutually beneficial collaboration through the lenses of cybersecurity, vendor risk assessment, data governance, and IT policy projects.

You’ll learn:
•    How the Compass Initiative developed by the University of California Irvine improves the student journey through the strategic use of data assets, organizational capabilities, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
•    How the University of California, Davis faced challenges during solution evaluation and procurement, and lessons learned for those looking to nurture corporate and institutional relationships that transcend individual transactions.
