About Universidad Simon Bolivar

Universidad Simon Bolivar is one of the Caribbean region’s leading higher-education institutions in Colombia. It supports thousands of undergraduate and graduate students who expect agile, close, high-quality service across academic and administrative processes.


Starting Point

Before Sagicc, the university faced a major challenge: sustaining warm, efficient communications with students while operating at increasing scale. The pandemic accelerated the need for digital alternatives to in-person service and demanded continuity in support.

“Our primary challenge was keeping communication close, warm, and efficient. That need became much more pressing when the pandemic forced us to replace face-to-face interactions.”

— Jacob Gutierrez, Head of User Support and Marketing, Universidad Simon Bolivar


Choosing a Partner, Not Just a Tool

The university knew it needed more than another digital channel; it needed a single platform to unify its entire contact strategy. With Sagicc, it found an omnichannel solution that connected WhatsApp, email, web chat, and calls while opening the door to institutional digital transformation.

“Sagicc allowed us to bring every communication channel together and manage them the way we envisioned during a very challenging time.”

  • Centralized management of all contact channels

“The platform not only enables omnichannel service; it also helps us manage data effectively, giving us the insight needed to deliver a closer, warmer experience.”


Capabilities That Powered the Change

  • Advanced reporting to measure response times and service levels
  • Digital transformation support with training for internal teams
