In episode 84 of the Leadership Minute, Janet Schijns discusses how higher education clouds are changing the game for schools and universities, as well as for the partners who work with them.
Highlights
00:13 — Janet says she was recently thinking about higher education and how the higher education industry clouds are changing the game in education.
00:20 — One example that immediately came to mind was the Oracle Student Cloud. It’s often delivered and integrated by a technology partner, such as an MSP or solutions integrator. This cloud-based system provides a comprehensive suite of applications that are specifically designed for higher education institutions to manage student lifecycle processes, recruiting and admissions, academic advising, degree progress tracking, financial aid, student accounts, and even career services.
00:47 — The Oracle Student Cloud is designed to be highly configurable, which is where a partner comes in, and can be adapted to meet the unique needs of an individual institution with a little bit of partner support and help.
01:00 — Because it also leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of administrative processes and student engagement, Oracle Student Cloud is helping partners help institutions make sense of and execute on those promises. Many universities and colleges around the world have already implemented the Oracle Student Cloud to streamline their student management processes with the support of a partner.
01:31 — Some universities may choose to go it alone. That’s a risky course since working with an experienced partner can help them take action more decisively and with a better impact.
