Business Trends: Understanding Your Education Technology Customer
Introduction
This Ovum study examines top business challenges, IT budget outlook, spending priorities, and the adoption of enterprise applications solutions among higher education institutions in Asia-Pacific, North America, and Western Europe. It is based on the results of Ovum Education Business Trends primary research, conducted in Q4 of 2010 with 150 institutions.
Features and benefits
Existing trends for relatively flat institutional budgets are likely to continue in 2011.
Learning management solutions (LMS) are adopted widely but the importance of the tool varies by geography. However, in general, the larger the student body, the more likely institutions are to look to LMS to provide scalable learning and teaching tools.
The majority of respondents are open to the use of SaaS delivery models and open-source platforms for enterprise applications.
