GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING EDUCATIONAL ERP MARKET

US TARIFF IMPACT

U.S. Tariffs Affecting the Educational ERP Market

American tariffs on imported goods are increasing the cost of learning technology, like educational ERP software, which makes it very costly and less accessible.

Reasons for increased tariffs are as follows:

• Increased Hardware Cost—ERP needs hardware like laptops, tablets, computers, and servers. Because of tariffs, the price of these products has increased by 47%, which is too costly to install ERP in the institute.

• Increased software cost—There is no direct tax software, but because of increased cost on hardware, it leads to an increase in operational cost, which reflects as the institute needing to pay higher software subscription fees.

• Limiting School Budget—The increased costs result in schools having limited budgets, which result in reduced technology refreshes and lower purchases of necessary hardware.

• Challenges for Small EdTech Companies—Smaller edtech companies have difficulty paying extra fees, and they need to increase prices or reduce services, which affects the quality and price of edtech resources.

• Global Trade Tensions—Tariffs have resulted in retaliations from nations abroad, making it even more difficult for U.S. edtech companies to export goods and services abroad, affecting their revenues as well as their capacity to invest in product development.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.

Driving Factors

The following are the most significant driving factors behind the increasing adoption of Education ERP systems, summarized in detail:

Administrative Process Automation to Drive the market growth

Schools maintain a great deal of administrative processes for items like admissions, scheduling, attendance tracking, grading, and finances. Managing administrative processes manually is time consuming, can leave room for errors, and may not be performed to fullest effectiveness. ERP software automatically manages these processes, which may lead to providing greater efficiency and accuracy which leads to Market Growth for Education ERP. Task automation gets employees away from grunt work and allows them time for strategy projects and being with students. Automating allows for operations to be constant and consistency also provides a stronger ability to stay in compliance with institutional regulation and policy.

Convergence of Academic and Administrative Functions To Facilitate Market Growth

ERP systems provide a single platform that integrates several organizational functions, which     determines student information, human resources, finance, and academic planning, which combines silos of data and provides information freely across departments. For example, if there are any changes to student enrolment, the changes will automatically populate in their class schedule, and also can be populated into their billing system. This union of systems promotes operational efficiencies, provides for improved communications for our stakeholders, and provides the basis for good decision-making through their organization understanding their holistic operations.

Restraining Factor

Concerns Over Data Privacy and Security

 The implementation of an ERP system has a high initial cost due to software licensing, hardware infrastructure, training, and eventually the costs of maintenance, upgrades and support services, all of which are included in the cost of ownership. This total cost of ownership can be very significant for smaller organizations that function on tight budgets.  The introduction of the new ERP system comes with the need to change long-established workflows, which can create resistance among faculty and administration staff who are used to completing a task through traditional processes. This can be from fear, unknown issues or being uncomfortable using new technologies which may hinder the transition in terms of usage and adherence to the system. ERP systems have tremendous complexity built into the system to accommodate its many functions, but customizing an ERP system to fit your institutions needs or to meet objectives can take a lot of time, expenses and resources. In fact, the costs can accumulate for significant customization and may lead to problems with future upgrades and maintenance if done excessively. ERP systems store large amounts of sensitive data which include student records and financials. Therefore, it is important for the security and privacy of these data. An effective ERP system has strong security that is considered industry standards.

Cloud –based solutions and Integration with Learning Management Systems (LMS) to create market opportunities for Information Technology Industries.

Opportunity

Digital transformation in education: Another opportunity is the diffusion and adoption of educational systems utilizing digital technology and its applicability by educational institutions. The ability of ERP systems to simultaneously and comprehensive academic and administrative practice can create efficiencies and even drive decisions. Cloud-based solutions: A growing focus in Cloud-based ERP solutions offer affordable, flexible, and scalable resources for software services. Cloud-based systems afford institutions capabilities of remote access to applications and data promoting expanded access to online and blended learning.

Integration Issues and Legacy Systems And Cost Of Implementation To Create Hindrances In Market Growth

Challenge

The Educational ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) market holds great transformative capabilities for educational institutions; however, there are many challenges that exist that could prevent successful implementation. Implementing an ERP system has a high financial cost and includes things like software licensing, hardware, customizing, and training staff. Once the initial implementation has completed, additional costs like upgrades to the system, maintenance, and support to the application will increase the total cost of ownership.  For smaller institutions with limited budgets, these costs can be overwhelming and create barriers to switching to an ERP solution.
