The E&I National Cloud Leadership Awards recognize the achievements of higher education member institutions that have made innovative use of cloud technology throughout the past year.
Cloud technology enables users to reliably access information and deliver content from anywhere, anytime, on any computer or mobile device. It enhances collaboration, streamlines services, reduces costs, and creates new possibilities for teaching and learning without interruption.
Members nominate teams from their college, university, or another institution who they feel deserve recognition for the good work they’re doing as leaders in cloud technology use.
