Abstract

This review paper explores the integration of Software as a Service (SaaS) products in higher education, focusing on the challenges and best practices associated with enterprise architecture (EA). As higher education institutions increasingly adopt SaaS solutions to enhance efficiency, student engagement, and digital transformation, they face a range of technical, organizational, and security challenges. The paper outlines best practices to ensure successful SaaS integration, including strategic planning, architectural considerations, vendor selection, and continuous monitoring. It also discusses the implications for institutions and examines future trends such as artificial intelligence, data privacy, and hybrid cloud environments. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of a strategic approach to SaaS integration and identifying potential areas for further research.
