RUCKUS AI: A great fit for higher education
IT teams in higher education often lack the level of staffing seen in corporate environments, so efficiency is critical. Network admins must use multiple data sources, manual processes and lots of guesswork to determine the root causes and troubleshoot connectivity issues. Lack of visibility into network operations is a major inhibitor to IT effectiveness.
