Teachers, professors, students, and administrators alike need access to information from anywhere to do their job and complete their studies. In a system still often driven by paper-based processes, that’s challenging. Especially with so many institutions operating outside of a physical campus. In the fall of 2020, 65% of colleges and universities taught and worked remotely and about half of elementary and secondary schools conducted instruction only online.

Digital transformation is a huge topic of conversation within education, but most educational institutions are just getting started on their journey. For example, according to a 2020 survey from the higher education technology nonprofit EDUCAUSE, just 13% of colleges and universities are engaging in digital transformation today while 70% are either exploring it or developing their strategy. Perhaps most concerning: Almost one-fifth (17%) of institutions are investing no time at all on digital transformation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1591570870177{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
