Story

The Education Community Services Group (ECSG) has been leading the market in educational services enrollments for the past five years. Soon, other leading educational services providers started to overtake the enrollments because of improvements made through online marketing. A study was conducted using surveys and analyses with statistics. With the demand for educational services and network administration architecture (NSA) revamping, the company found some breathing room. Now you can go to a number of satellite campuses and online portals to enroll in the educational offerings that ECSG provides. Results have been great, and the corporation has been able to lead the task of rejuvenating student enrollment.

Moral of the Story

As a company, management has to adapt to changes and competition. One vital step to improving profitability and competitiveness is to evaluate the current network administration to determine performance gaps and ensure senior management is receiving the critical information it requires to make strategic decisions. ECSG, realizing that it is losing market share to other providers of educational services, has determined that it needs a more robust network administration architecture to close the gap with its competitors. If you have that agility and resiliency, you can survive as a company in the world of constant competition. As the old saying goes, “If you cannot beat them, then join them.” That is what the corporation did. The chief executive officer (CEO) made sure that he shares the online market as well.
