UCPath exec delivers in-person update

In a recent presentation on the Davis campus, Dan Russi, executive director of UCPath, shared statistics about the deployment of UCPath at UCLA and UC Santa Barbara in September.

The biggest change the UCPath Center has seen is in call volume due to the increase in employees using UCPath.

The number of calls into the UCPC went from 3,558 to 10,344 over the same time period. Despite that significant jump in employees, UCPath saw no significant outages and all payroll dates were met.
