How IUGB Elevated Student Experience While Cutting Administrative Load by Up to 50%
Overview
A unified platform that cut administrative load by up to 50%
IUGB was running admissions, communication and academics in silos, with a heavy manual workload and little visibility for leadership. Academia brought them onto one platform – automating admissions and student communication, adding predictive analytics to flag at-risk students, and opening self-service portals – and reduced manual administrative effort by 30–50%.
Metrics are based on internal assessment.
