CONCLUSION

Through this project, University of Waterloo was able to attain a very advanced level of automation. With that, they optimized their internal team’s time and limited potential manual errors, which proved to be costly in both money and time.​ They are now able to automatically monitor hundreds of traveler profiles to ensure that they have completed all compliance steps. They now have a centralized database with a complete view of travel information and tasks to align and manage the pre-travel to post-travel journey with the university. ​
