Every department runs its own help line.

Admissions, registrar, financial aid, housing and IT each answer calls their own way, on their own tools, with the same students calling all of them.

Seasonal peaks

Application deadlines and the first week of term bring volume that a fixed team cannot meet.

Students want chat

A generation that avoids phone calls, served by departments that only have phones.

Disconnected systems

The student information system knows the answer. The person on the phone has to look it up.

What we build for colleges and universities.

One Amazon Connect instance, with each department running its own queues, hours and reporting.
