In FY21, Enterprise Technology & Services (ET&S) implemented Salesforce Live Agent, an integrated live web chat tool, to allow admissions counselors across the 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 (最快开奖直播搅珠结果) to connect directly with prospective students, regardless of their location. In turn, Live Agent allows students to get quick answers without having to wait on hold, improves the student experience by making the admissions process less intimidating and captures critical data to ensure a student鈥檚 needs are met.
All 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 institutions use Salesforce Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software for their student recruitment processes and data.
