Building Tomorrow's Education Enterprise Ask what technology can do for education, and a never-before-possible future unfolds — pervasive classrooms, faster learning, and most importantly: the ability to track performance and results across the system – for students, educators and management alike. However, institutions today are preparing to face their toughest tests yet — regulation and disruption. The answers: a new school of thought, best-in-class technology, and the right strategy.
Challenges & Opportunities Realizing the promise of virtual colleges: New technologies, coupled with changing attitudes and student profiles have broken barriers to integrate everyone from parents and faculty to third-party information providers and regulators. Social media, instructional design and collaborative platforms are just some of the ways to stay ahead in this learning revolution.
Student mobilityHigher education has gone global. So have students. As they pursue learning internationally, competing for their talent is creating new business models — increased acquisitions from private institutions, international partnerships and the opening of overseas 'branch campuses'.
Satisfying the new 'avatar' of students The expectations are endless. And justifiably so. In addition to demanding digital learning, students also expect institutions to round their skills and make them 'corporate-ready'. Institutions that can provide this edge, and more, will get closer to keeping their classrooms full.
Increased regulation The call for more accountability in terms of student success and employability is changing core institutional processes around student management, administration and marketing. The need? New metrics and tracking mechanisms that can help demonstrate proof of 'value addition'

Building Tomorrow's Manufacturing Enterprise In an industry that creates equipment to make things simpler for others, the information technology that enterprises use should make work simpler for them. This calls for just-in-time insights, on-demand visibility and off-the-line innovation.
As consumer spending in emerging economies expands, new demand centers and centers of manufacturing excellence and innovation are rising as hotspots. To break the mold, manufacturers need to meet industry forces head-on in their complex make-to-order, make-to-stock and configure-to-order requirements market.

Challenges & Opportunities
Intense competition Manufacturers have to develop, source, make and deliver based on best cost and best talent decisions. Additionally, the regulatory environment enforces flexible controls across the enterprise.
Supply chain complexity The traditional supply chain has broken. Companies are increasingly procuring from low-cost centers that are becoming increasingly interesting and popular. This is also resulting in highly complex supply chains that are difficult to manage and optimize.
Realizing value from technology investments While technology can enable flexibility in global operations and support transformational initiatives, manufacturers struggle to justify their investments to simplify and standardize their business systems and technological support organizations.

Today retailers must use technology to ensure growth even through an uncertain economic environment

Retail has been subject to considerable change in the last few years. Average incomes have gone down modifying buying habits. The fundamental shift in consumer purchase behavior has led to cascading change. Luxury brands have launched their own stores, private label goods are finding buyers, channels have proliferated, targeting customers has become more difficult and the number of SKUs in a store is impossible to manage without technology.

Retailers must address these and a number of other issues to power growth. They need to use technology for operational excellence, manage regional preferences, improve customer satisfaction, and expose store merchandizing trends in real time for smarter business decisions.
