Cloud computing – risks and mitigation

Cloud computing is advancing at a pace, enabling education providers to scale up and down on demand, to employ supporting IT functions to monitor, analyse and secure their services, and ultimately provide consistent high performance for learners across a chosen geography. However, cloud migration and optimisation doesn’t happen at the flick of a switch.  Like anything worthwhile, managing cloud computing requires skill and experience.  This post is the third in our managed services series, you can view the first two posts here:  Managed Services Post 1 and Managed Services Post 2.

Cloud computing enables education providers to redefine their business goals, as their services can, in effect, have a global reach.  This is certainly true of universities, where it has expanded the size and the target of the addressable market: functionality and scale are no longer an inhibitor to growth.
