Education IT Consultant
Proven IT Leaders with Track Records in the Education Industry
Education IT Experts
Education is a critical component of our society and economy, and one which has a long history of innovation and disruption from technology. Our consultants have experience leading IT for many organizations in many sectors across the industry, as listed below.
Many consulting firms believe that what works well in another industry will work just as well in education tech consulting, and try to assign consultants to IT projects in the space with no previous school or university system experience.
Our experts know where “general best practices” work well vs. where there are real nuances about education which must be taken into account by technology leaders, such as the growing importance of virtual/mobile technology for instruction and coursework delivery.

Our Unique Approach to Education Technology
Like a lot of consulting practices, we help clients stabilize their IT platforms, secure their networks, and optimize their architecture, service levels and tech budget.
Unlike a lot of consulting firms, we build trust first and align our strategy to your overall strategy before taking these steps. The “right” approach to technology very much depends on your positioning, objectives, and culture. Is low-cost a competitive advantage or can tech capabilities pay off with a huge ROI in automation and efficiency?
Also unlike a lot of consulting firms, we help clients Innovate Beyond Efficiency by identifying ways to monetize tech and data to create growth streams and/or new products and services.
This will look different in education IT consulting than in other verticals, and different in each of the education sub-sectors listed above, but we often find ways to either increase sales frequency, shorten the sales cycle, or create a capability which wins market-share from competitors who can’t match it. Let’s work together to reveal what a Vista of Innovation can look like for your organization.
