New Survey Highlights the Challenges and Complexities of Managing and Distributing Academic Digital Resources

Technology is integral to education. Today’s students are digital natives, training for careers that will almost all require some use of tech or software. To meet modern education standards, schools have to provide access to a wide variety of software, eTextbooks, cloud services, and other digital resources.

Kivuto wanted a better understanding of the challenges this involves for academic IT teams. How are digital licenses and entitlements being managed on campuses today? What are the frustrations involved, and what would it take to overcome them? How prepared are school IT teams to face the rising challenges related to security, compliance, and cloud licensing models?

To answer these questions, Kivuto partnered with University Business to conduct a survey of nearly 200 technology leaders from universities and colleges. Respondents were asked about the challenges and complexities of managing and distributing academic digital resources in a time of digital transformation.
