Integration of Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence with Academic Software Solutions

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that gives computers the ability, in the same way as humans, to communicate with people, understand events, and learn and react to events. Over the years, artificial intelligence not only had huge applications across industries—such as security and surveillance and information technology—but it had also experienced a rise in adoption of the technologies in the education sector. AI is being adopted across schools, colleges, and universities for automating repetitive tasks, such as grading, financial analysis, and admission processes. For example, AI can be calibrated to learn and model teacher actions while grading, through advanced computer programs—such as Automated Grading—for automatic grade assignment in the future. Over time, the program would learn the academic skills of multiple students and, based on their performances, prepare customized training plans.

Deployment -Based Market Insights

Based on deployment type, the global academic software market is segmented into cloud and on-premise. The cloud-based academic software is witnessing high demand compared to on-premises academic software. The cloud segment generates the majority of the demand since it is comparatively less expensive due to strong network infrastructure in developed countries. In addition, the cloud-based academic software vendors are highly focused on developing a high-level security patch in order to eliminate the risk of cyberattacks. This factor is also creating significant demand from the end users, thereby driving the academic software market.

Application -Based Market Insights

Based on application, the academic software market is segmented into colleges and universities, educational services, and others. Increasing adoption of modern solutions across educational institutions and universities to offer both online and offline courses to students coupled with the initiative to make advanced solutions available to all staff and students is influencing the adoption of academic software. This is fuelling the growth of the market over the years.
