But reducing the number of platforms on campus is rarely a simple technical decision. It affects faculty workflows, departmental needs, student experiences, support models, procurement priorities, and vendor relationships. In this session, panelists from ASU will discuss the real-world challenges, tradeoffs, and opportunities involved in consolidating academic technology tools. The conversation will explore how institutions evaluate overlapping solutions, engage stakeholders, manage change, and advocate for the functionality, flexibility, and partnership they need from vendors. Attendees will leave with practical considerations for approaching consolidation in a way that supports teaching, learning, and institutional goals.As institutions look to streamline their learning technology ecosystems, tool consolidation is becoming an increasingly common strategy.
