The Challenge
Edureka, an online education marketplace, prides itself on having the highest course completion rate in the industry. However, they faced a significant challenge in maintaining this rate due to the lack of immediate response to user support queries. This delay often led to students losing interest and discontinuing the course. The company wanted to create a support system that not only answered student queries but also encouraged them to continue, monitored their progress, and celebrated their achievements. However, providing 24/7 phone support was a daunting task. Edureka’s agents began to receive a surplus of calls from their students daily, which were often plagued with connectivity issues. As the company began to scale internationally, the platform founders started to search for a partner that would allow a smoother user experience for both the Edureka students and support agents.
About The Customer
Edureka is one of the fastest-growing online education marketplaces in the industry. They provide education for tech professionals looking to upskill, enter a new field, or keep up with the latest technology. Students can take live online courses from market professionals and have 24/7 support for any questions or difficulties along the way. Edureka is not the biggest, least expensive, or quickest to complete online learning platform, but they have the highest course completion rate in the industry. They attribute this success to their commitment to not giving up on the students who decide to invest in their curriculum.
The Solution
Edureka chose Twilio’s Programmable Voice solution to help overcome their challenges. Twilio’s solution allowed Edureka to take calls from international students from almost any device, at any time, and from anywhere. With this solution, Edureka was able to deliver high-quality and crystal clear audio, enabling their staff to accurately troubleshoot any issues their students may have and provide the support they needed to complete the course. The solution also allowed Edureka to record their support calls, which they could use for training their staff to help with future issues. Using Twilio, Edureka was able to scale their solution from a limited number of cities and classes to providing a global platform available across class sizes and course subjects. Edureka’s sales team also uses the platform to take calls from students all over the world. In the near future, the company also hopes to enable SMS with Twilio Programmable Messaging to offer even more opportunities to communicate with their students worldwide.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
