“The Renegade” Provides Students with Self-Service 24/7/365 at the Financial Aid Office, Saving Staff Time and Improving Customer Service.
Ocelot’s Extensive Knowledgebase and Video Library provided Bakersfield College with an Unrivaled Starting Point for Customization, enabling easy maintenance.
BOULDER, CO – Ocelot, the nation’s largest Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider of multi-lingual Artificially Intelligent chatbots and videos to higher education, announced today that a new school has launched a conversational chatbot on its easy-to-use platform.
Bakersfield College (Bakersfield, CA) is the latest institution to take advantage of Ocelot’s extensive knowledge base and unrivaled library of online video content to launch their own chatbot.
Jennifer Achan, Director of Financial Aid, said, “The Chatbot has been a game-changer for our students during their customer service journey through Bakersfield College’s financial aid process. At a school with over 30,000 students, our office deals with a high volume of calls, emails, and in-person visits from students, and this sometimes makes it difficult for students to get the information they need quickly. Adding the chatbot to our processes has provided a much-needed outlet for students who need answers urgently.”
“Our unique chatbot platform is enabling schools like Bakersfield College to build powerful chatbots with little-to-no IT resources,” said Kevin O’Shea, Ocelot’s Chief Technology Officer. “Our extensive knowledge base and video library provide an unrivaled starting point for customization, with enterprise-grade Natural Language Understanding technology ensuring users can quickly find the answers they need.”
School chatbots built on Ocelot’s platform are mobile-friendly, WCAG AA 2.0 accessible, and can be deployed across student service departments and One-Stops.
Schools choose to build chatbots on Ocelot’s Chatbot platform in order to:
- Support Enrollment and Retention Initiatives
- Improve Customer Service
- Reduce Phone Calls and Wait Times
- Replace Live Chat services or supplement them after-hours
- Support Student Self-Service
- Ensure Consistency of Answers
- Save Staff Time
- Promote Financial Literacy/Debt Education
