Information

  • Cloud transformation rarely stalls on technology. It stalls on foundations: controls held in individual heads rather than shared systems, an operating model no one has agreed, a platform staff work around rather than through.
  • For institutions holding student records and sensitive research data, that gap becomes very real. It shows up as budget overrun, service outages and exposure to data breaches.
  • Three foundations close it. A control framework that sets the standard. An operating model that makes clear who decides what. A platform that makes compliance the default, not an afterthought.
