Why innovative universities and colleges are choosing Huawei Cloud

Huawei Cloud is the ultimate cloud platform for South African educational institutions that want to leverage the latest technologies – including 5G, cloud computing, IoT, and AI.

These technologies help educators make learning more accessible, enjoyable, and effective as they facilitate online lesson preparation, interactive teaching, digital learning analysis, online evaluations, and much more.

Cutting-edge technologies are also playing a key role in helping educational institutions solve many modern challenges.

For example: recent HEITSA (Higher Education Information Technology South Africa) research highlighted the key challenges that tertiary institutions are experiencing in South Africa:

  • Security – Tertiary institutions must guard against financial losses and protect their data.
  • Digital direction – The future is digital, and tertiary institutions must embrace this.
  • Resources – Effective learning materials are needed to deliver high-quality education.
  • Risk management – Educational institutions must mitigate risk through disaster recovery and compliance.
  • Digital environment – Tertiary institutions must foster better learning experiences through technology.

Huawei Cloud is expertly equipped to help higher learning institutions solve these challenges through its robust cloud infrastructure.
