Technology is a critical element of modern learning environments of all types. PCs and tablets are as common in many classrooms as books and whiteboards. Software and connectivity are as essential to an education as a library card. It is widely agreed that an education that does not expose students to technology or help them learn to use technology effectively is incomplete.
Just as students rely on technology, administrators and educators depend on information technology(IT) solutions to provide connectivity and insight that help them run their increasingly complex institutions as efficiently as possible and support overall effectiveness. As important, the need for information security also has grown commensurate with technology's expanded presence on campuses and across research organizations.
