At Educloud, we see an interconnected world where software and services are delivered into the Education Market on the same Cloud Computing platforms (IaaS, PaaS and SaaS) as emerging large-scale commercial applications. Learners will benefit because they have high-quality interconnected services available to them. Institutions will benefit because they can buy access to these adaptable services on a per-needed basis without the overhead of capital infrastructure.
Education technology solutions should be first rate and robust but that doesn’t mean they have to lag years behind industry. They should lead the way for a change. The experience learners have of modern web based service providers (Amazon, Google, Facebook, Flickr, The BBC, etc.) should be replicated on the tools they use to aid learning in and out of the classroom. Technology should fulfil its potential as an equaliser, accessibility and usability are golden watchwords and woe betides anyone who doesn’t pay them heed.
Educloud are a leading provider of niche Cloud solutions for education. To do this we are active in the market place as evangelists and guides to encourage adoption and de-mystify the technology for our buyers and influencers. We are also swift to identify niche opportunities and turn them into high-quality, accessible products. Above all, we are able to move and evolve quickly and take our role as an agent of change to the heart of what we do by constantly challenging the status quo in the market place and where needed taking risks with ideas to mount a revolution in the way education thinks about and accesses software.
