Persistent data silos have long been a challenge in higher education, separating pockets of information, expertise, and culture and impeding efforts to engage in data-informed decision-making across the institution. But even as colleges and universities begin to unify their data sources and implement best practices in data management and data governance, it can be difficult to translate that data into a positive impact on student outcomes. How can institutions move their data efforts forward to better solve complex problems and drive the strategic mission?

Many colleges and universities have already seen the benefits of moving away from traditional landlines, MPLS connections, and outdated devices and hardware, embracing Unified Communication & Collaboration (UCC) tools for meetings, remote or hybrid classes, and more. But that’s just the beginning of what’s possible with modern communications platforms: The convergence of tools such as UCC and Call Center as a Service is bringing communication and service delivery to a whole new level on campus. This integrated communications model enables institutions to improve service, better allocate staffing and resources, and reduce costs, all while enhancing the student experience, boosting employee satisfaction, and fostering alumni and community relations.
