The education sector faces a number of significant challenges and although education is not a typical profit-driven industry, the marketplace is still highly competitive with organisations devoted to maximizing value to students - their customers.
Many educational institutions are under severe budget pressure, forcing educators to reduce services, increase the burden on local communities through taxes or donations, or increase tuition fees. At the same time, delivery costs continue to rise - including pensions, teacher healthcare, employee unions, special education and basic educational infrastructure. Maintaining antiquated voice and data networks - typically not converged and without IP telephony - adds to delivery costs. This combination means educators are being forced to do more with less.
Due to recent developments in technology - such as IP telephony, Web services, and service-oriented architecture (SOA) - communications can play a pivotal role in the strategies educational institutions pursue.

Using IP Communications to integrate data, voice, and video, schools and colleges can cost-effectively IP enable classrooms, improve access to educational resources on or off campus whilst meeting technology needs, reducing complexity, and improving reliability.
Content delivery networks and IP-based video solutions can help schools and colleges connect remote students to on-campus learning resources, contribute to improved curricula, and enable classroom-to-classroom collaboration and access to off-campus experts.
