Danielle Yardy, Leader Higher Education Strategy, AWS
The explosion of SaaS solutions for education has pulled campus data to the cloud—but it’s siloed, hard to access, and growing faster than ever. Understanding institutional data has never been more important, with student success, business transformation, and sustainability initiatives all gathering pace. In this session, we’ll show how institutions can use data strategy to support institutional strategy and share some of the work that AWS is doing in partnership with NERCOMP to help technical staff on campus develop the skills and capabilities they need to gain confidence and accelerate cloud data maturity.
