Technology – and the cloud in particular – has been disrupting the education sector for some time, but Covid-19 has accelerated the need for digital transformation.

As in the business world, the cloud offers educational institutions a way to undertake this journey of digital transformation rapidly while containing costs. Working with AWS, many institutions have been able to create a customised infrastructure that is more efficient and flexible, able to quickly and easily scale up during peak usage times, and scale down over breaks when server needs are low. It’s no longer necessary to over-provision in order to cope with peak periods.
