International schools are faced with the challenge of supporting continuous academic growth and improvement despite an often transient student population. Further, schools must learn to anticipate shifting needs and technological capabilities in order to make the correct, budget-friendly decisions now rather than be stuck with costly IT overhauls on a regular basis.

You will learn ways a new approach may lead to higher levels of communication, sharing, and data exchange between schools who are relying on IT and data-based decision-making to support long-term student success in a cost-effective fashion.
