Academic esports has reached a pivotal moment. As programs mature, the conversation is shifting from launch and growth to long-term sustainability. A new report explores key challenges facing the industry—including program longevity, student engagement, workforce readiness, institutional support, and stronger industry partnerships. It also highlights a critical finding: successful esports programs are often built around community, measurable student impact, and alignment with institutional goals—not just competitive success.

Good data starts with good governance. Federal agencies are generating and managing unprecedented volumes of data—but turning that data into a trusted, strategic asset requires more than technology alone. From improving data quality and accessibility to supporting compliance, transparency, and informed decision-making, effective data governance plays a critical role in helping agencies maximize the value of their information. Explore key considerations, common challenges, and emerging best practices shaping data governance across the federal landscape in this latest article: https://shi-intl.com/up7jL

Most organizations don’t get stuck at AI. They get stuck at the foundation underneath it, from data readiness and security to identity and governance. It’s where SHI and Microsoft, as partners, come in. We know because we hit that wall ourselves. Before SHI could help customers modernize, we had to work through our own legacy data systems first, and it wasn’t a comfortable process. As a Frontier Firm, we bring a foundation we’ve already built ourselves to every customer conversation.
