3. Institutional Challenges
• Islands of information, content and applications
• Education systems are not like business systems – makes
development and maintenance expensive
• Poor sharing inside and outside the institution
• Difficult to find the right content, data, and people

4. Food For Thought
• Staff Perspective:-
• How many systems do I need to login to in order to do my job?
• Where do I find the information I require?
• Student Perspective:-
• How do I remember all the usernames and passwords?
• What can I access easily via a browser and smartphone?
