 Customer Success: Student Loans Company

SLC works closely with the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). Due to the DfES’s strict firewall policy, SLC experienced complications in delivering information and generating reports for users accessing its Web site.

After considering tools from Cognos and Oracle, SLC chose the MicroStrategy platform for its ability to smoothly administer Web-based issues to a large user base.
"The combination of the commitment of SLC's Data Warehousing Team and the choice of MicroStrategy as the strategic Web tool has ensured the success of our data warehouse and this success is attracting the interest of all our stakeholders."

- Liz Craig,
Project Manager,
Student Loans Company
The Student Loans Company places great emphasis on delivering high standards of customer care in discharging its responsibility to fund the UK’s undergraduate students. A unique loan financing organization, SLC has, to date, issued loans to over 3 million customers.

A key enabler within SLC is the technology utilised by the company. Every aspect of the processing of loan applications through to final repayment is supported by computer systems developed specifically to meet the specialised requirement of the legislation under which loans are issued.
