The Challenge
Open Universities Australia (OUA) was facing challenges in providing around-the-clock coverage to its international audience to increase revenue. They wanted to increase entry points and channels for prospective students to more easily engage with the education aggregator. Their long-term goal was to enhance automation to match the value of human agents. To solve these challenges, OUA created a roadmap of automation use cases over the past two years.
About The Customer
Open Universities Australia (OUA) is a leader in the online higher education space with 13 university partners, serving 350,000 students. They started their path to automation through a partnership with LivePerson in 2016. OUA's goal was to enhance the service of the brand’s platform by engaging with a broader scope of prospective candidates. They aimed to provide additional support and meet customers where they are, thus improving the customer experience and growing sales.
The Solution
OUA partnered with LivePerson to scale automation across channels. They launched their first bot experience in early 2017, designed to capture after-hours traffic. Since then, OUA scaled automation to include eight unique bot use cases across a variety of channels including Facebook Messenger, SMS, and web messaging. Each of these has been designed to enhance existing services provided by the organization’s human agents, or “student advisors.” OUA has expanded to eight total channels via the LiveEngage platform. They have also automated internal processes, using AI tied into their Salesforce system to generate leads.
