Higher Education
Building lifelong connections and transforming the education experiences across the entire student lifecycle
customers
Of every 10 students who commence at an Australian university, three don’t graduate.
And in 2021, the QILT Student Experience Survey found that 19% of retained students had also considered leaving higher education.
Even though today’s students are more connected and moving faster than ever, their expectations have changed.
They’re used to Nexflix, Uber, and Amazon that provide hyper-personalised experiences at the touch of a button on their mobile devices. So every time students engage with your institution, they demand outstanding experiences. If you can’t deliver them, then performance, satisfaction, and retention will suffer.
We understand higher education and make it easier for an institution of any size to become a connected campus and drive stronger 1-to-1 engagement with students and corporate partners.
