Digital Transformation in Education sector
with Low-Code.
with Low-Code.
Recent Problems In The Education Sector:
In 2017, Gartner stated “by 2021, more than 50% of education institutions will begin redesigning
their student experience with the goal of making it more integrated and personalized. Affected
collectively by a strong economy, low unemployment rate, change in demographics and digital
disruption, majority of educational institutions scramble to address the shifting trends of student
enrollment rates as well as students’ expectations once they are enrolled.
A Digital Arms Race
Incorporating digital technology does not
automatically deliver the results that institutions
expect. Many establishments have failed to deliver
a personalized student experience that students
have come to expect from other areas in their daily
lives, resulting in failed implementations, user
abandonment, and millions of dollars lost on
misplaced IT investments.
Personalization Is Key
More than 30% of higher educational institutions will be
forced to execute a personalization strategy to maintain
student enrollment. This trend has been affected largely
by a young, digital hungry student population used to
leading a digital – first life, who demand customized
communication with their institution and classmates
across all devices and channels.
