Each year at the annual EDUCAUSE conference, hosted in Nashville this year, the Laserfiche team gets the chance to connect with the higher education technology professionals driving campus innovation. It’s an enriching experience and an opportunity to discuss how content management can help higher ed teams drive student success. It’s also a forum to explore upcoming challenges higher education will face in the year ahead, and discuss potential solutions to those upcoming challenges.
Based on our conversations with technology leaders at EDUCAUSE, we’ve identified three upcoming challenges and how to face them head on.
With demographic shifts already driving persistent enrollment declines, higher education institutions must pivot from simply attracting applicants to actively fostering an environment that makes students want to stay at their schools which makes administrative efficiency a key value driver.
Students today are digital natives; they expect their university to provide technology and services as accessible and intuitive as the leading consumer apps they use every day.
Institutions can no longer rely on paper-based or clunky legacy digital processes. Successfully navigating enrollment requires a full embrace of modern, technology-driven processes, including:
When core processes like registration, financial aid applications or petitioning are streamlined and effortless, the institution itself stands out in the eyes of applicants.
The impact of AI when it comes to modernization continues to grow and is quickly becoming an advantage to higher education institutions. By implementing AI tools for intelligent data capture, automated records routing and document processing, institutions can dramatically reduce the time and cost for back-office tasks like invoice processing or records management. This newfound efficiency and savings can then be strategically reallocated to high-touch student services.
AI can add value across campus departments, including:
The most pressing theme at this year’s conference was the widespread acknowledgment that financial retrenchment is a permanent reality for many institutions. IT leaders are evaluating their tech stacks and identifying where multiple departments may have purchased tools with overlapping capabilities.
IT teams are looking to optimize digital transformation and adopt tools that have the flexibility to adapt across multiple departments and streamline admissions, student services and back-office operations. These platforms should also seamlessly integrate with other solutions, such as a school’s SIS system, so administrators don’t have to duplicate efforts and data can flow freely between departments and processes.
The key message from EDUCAUSE is clear: success in the coming year depends on strategic efficiency. By addressing financial retrenchment through vendor consolidation, improving recruitment via exceptional digital student experiences and leveraging AI to free up staff resources, institutions can thrive.

In today’s rapidly changing insurance landscape, insurers face mounting pressures from economic and environmental uncertainty, coupled with rising policyholder expectations. Navigating these challenges means they need to improve how they operate, enhance customer experience and manage compliance costs. A recent industry survey, however, revealed a problem: Many insurers aren’t set up to tackle these strategies effectively. In fact, over half of them cited data fragmentation as their top operational hurdle.
Insurance companies continue to rely on inefficient data collection such as paper-based forms and static PDFs, forcing policyholders into tedious, error-prone data submissions. These outdated processes lead to manual data entry, repeated follow-ups, and inconsistent service. As a result, customers churn and bring down net promoter scores (NPS). Meanwhile, policyholder data is scattered across line-of-business applications, forcing staff into a “swivel chair” routine as they search for crucial data. This disconnected approach not only delays decision-making but also creates significant operational inefficiencies.
At the same time, insurers are grappling with increasing volumes of data from connected devices like telematics, smart home systems, and wearables. While this influx of data represents a tremendous opportunity to tailor policies and set accurate premiums, many insurers lack the capabilities to capture business-critical metadata efficiently.
Harness Your Data: From Overwhelmed to Supercharged
So, what can insurers do to turn data into business intelligence? The answer lies in embracing an enterprise content management (ECM) system as a unified source of truth and data orchestration engine.
With an ECM as the data backbone, insurers can:
Leading ECM systems also incorporate generative AI features with the potential to revolutionize the way insurers intake claims, policy updates, and service requests from multiple channels.
These strategies not only improve productivity and cut costs but also elevate the overall policyholder experience – a vital factor in today’s competitive market.
