Concierge is a new way to leverage conventional and Express portals as a main screen for fast record lookups; imagine it as your front desk receptionist. Traditionally, a school might create a custom portal, or perhaps grant permissions to lookup person records. With Concierge, you can create curated user experiences for fast, go-to lookups.
