Published justification: A scoping exercise was conducted by our Campus Services department with findings drawn that CampusLife`s Student Communication Platform - Browzer (which incorporates Browzer and Student Welcome) was first launched in 2012, and provides a unique tool for universities to both welcome their students to their institution (and/or accommodation), and continue that communication with them throughout their student journey via an integrated series of welcome content, ongoing comms platform, integration with social media tools, and insight-led reporting providing useful compliance data to ensure students have read and understood the information they have been provided with.
