Facing pressure to innovate, campus IT leaders must first navigate a growing list of improvement priorities and routine, yet time-consuming, operational tasks. But many lack the key personnel or expertise they need to do this, making it difficult to set aside time needed for meaningful innovation.

Meet the Apogee Executive Advisors
“At the end of the day, when you’re working in an institution of higher education, you want to get those students walking across the stage with a degree, becoming alumni, becoming productive members of their communities. We want to deliver the technology that can support that mission. It’s listening to them to see what part of the puzzle higher ed is missing. Sometimes it’s operational talent. Sometimes it’s strategy. And sometimes it’s a mixture of the two.”
