Strategic Partnerships PASSHE is expanding work-based learning initiatives and cross-campus course access, presenting an opportunity to offer integrated learning platforms, employer-aligned training programs, and collaborative education technology solutions to support scalable partnerships with the 10-state system.

Regional Reach With 82,000 students mainly from Pennsylvania and multiple neighboring institutions in the PASSHE network, there is potential to upsell cloud, security, and collaboration tools across campuses, leveraging existing AWS, Microsoft 365, and SharePoint usage.

Technology Modernization Current tech stack includes AWS, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and security headers; opportunities exist to expand cloud optimization, endpoint protection, data analytics, and student-success platforms to enhance digital learning and operational efficiency.

Public Funding Advantage Given PASSHE’s status as a state-owned system and recent leadership changes, there is room to propose cost-stable, multi-year IT modernization and managed services contracts that align with public-sector procurement cycles and grant-funded initiatives.

Recognition & Reach Recent ACUE Movement Maker recognition and ongoing summit activities highlight a focus on instructional quality and student success, signaling readiness for partners in instructional technology, faculty development platforms, and data-driven student outcomes solutions.
