02/15/22 • 19 min

The covid-19 pandemic caused serious disruption for the entire education sector.

Research from InterSystems found that sharing data was the biggest challenge for 59% of institutions. But their data issues don’t stop there. Many higher education institutions also face delays in accessing their data and are not using data to drive decision making as effectively as they could be. The knock-on effect of this for staff and students can be significant.

This podcast, featuring special guest Deborah Green, CEO of UCISA, the association which represents the whole of higher education, discusses the solutions some institutions are looking to adopt to solve these issues which will help them to enhance the student experience and make them a more attractive proposition.

This podcast explores the findings from InterSystems research that found an overwhelming 81% of fintechs identify data issues as their biggest technical challenge. And of this figure, 41% struggle to leverage data for analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, while 40% are unable to connect to customers’ applications and data or legacy systems.

Encouragingly, most fintechs appear to be ready to take steps to overcome these challenges. Almost half (48%) plan to invest in data management technologies over the next 12 months, while 45% expect to implement AI and ML.
