Customer Portal
Background:
ULCC held a number of Customer Portal requirements workshops with both FE / HE customers back in February 13, the outcome of these being a list of requirements for ULCC to evaluate and consider introducing as part of a staged development process.
Following on from this, ULCC released a light weight Customer Portal as a Beta to a select number of customers in June 13. This proved successful and as a result ULCC released the present version of the Customer Portal to all its (350+)managed services customers earlier this year January 14.
