The best mobile apps work offline, are optimized for one-handed data entry (i.e., speech-to-text) and tie into systems of record to facilitate better information sharing and response.
Adopting digital transformation technology affords academic institutions and educators significant time and cost savings, along with reduced risk.
With mobile apps, not only will data capture and sharing improve, but utilizing data to make better and faster decisions will dramatically impact the bottom line.
