E-booking platforms: Driving digital change in air cargo

Image: CargoAi E-booking platforms are transforming air cargo by replacing time-consuming calls and emails with instant bookings, real-time capacity updates, and automated workflows. In an industry long characterised by manual processes and paperwork, digital transformation has been steadily reshaping air cargo operations.

How does the higher education sector sustain digital transformation in tough times?

How does the higher education sector sustain digital transformation in tough times?

Image: Shutterstock Higher education institutions are in a real bind right now. Financial pressures are bearing down on expenditure, and even those institutions not at immediate risk are having to tighten their belts. Yet institutions also need to continue to evolve and improve – to better educate and support students, enable staff to do their teaching and research, strengthen external ties, and remain attractive to international students. The status quo is not appealing – not just because of competitive and strategic pressures but also because for a lot of institutions the existing systems aren’t really delivering a great experience for students and staff. So, when every penny counts, where should institutions invest to get the best outcomes? Technology is rarely the sole answer but it’s usually part of the answer, so deciding which technologies to deploy and how becomes a critical organisational capability. Silos breed cynicism Digital transformation is one of those areas that’s historically had a bit of a tricky reputation. I suspect your sense of the reason for this depends a bit on your standpoint but my take (as a moderately competent user of technology but by no means expert) is that technology procurement and deployment is […]
