Higher education financial and HRM software market in North America

The higher education financial and HRM software market in North America was valued at USD 830 million in 2015. The international mobility of students is a significant factor contributing to the growth of the higher education market in the US. It is estimated that Indian students contributed over USD 3.3 billion to the US economy in 2014.

The US Department of Education administers USD 2 billion annually in grants for improving higher education institutions and promoting college readiness. Increase in student enrollments in higher education calls for optimization in the use of funds to efficiently manage finance as well as human capital in institutions. Thus, institutions are allocating a significant proportion of their budgets to purchase financial and HRM software solutions, which can help in the optimum use of resources.

Thanks to technological improvements in Western Europe, a significant number of colleges and universities in the region possess the ICT infrastructure necessary to successfully implement these solutions.
