South African Presentations

Education is a sector that can derive significant benefits from cloud offerings. The drive for free education in South Africa has placed an increasing burden on funding in tough economic times which signals the need for institutions to find ways of reducing costs while at the same time improving services.
The right cloud solution offers the possibility of providing improved services at a reduced cost with greater levels of security, scalability and functionality. An appropriate cloud solution for BI also opens up the possibility for providing improved analytics to support student success, generate more income (donor analytics), reduce cost (procurement analytics) and optimise processes (service analytics).
This presentation will outline the various cloud options as well as the benefits and challenges that arise from the different approaches.
