Information Technology (IT) departments and Marketing & Communication offices in Higher Education institutions play a significant role in fulfilling the institution's strategic mission and objectives. They also play a critical role in helping the institution to attract and retain the best students, faculty, donors and corporate partners.
The IT and Marketing & Communication organizations face several challenges in meeting their objectives:
Resource shortage and limited technical expertise leads to frequent delays in delivering projects
Existing resources get tied up with legacy project maintenance
Difficulty in attracting and retaining talented staff
Faced with such challenges, many IT and Marketing & Communication organizations are often forced to postpone or abandon several projects every academic year. Innovation and agility suffer as a result. This leads to gradual but definite erosion in the institution's ability to fulfill its strategic mission as well as a loss in competitive edge.
