Problem
Educational institutions and corporations often have fragmented alumni or ex‑employee records, leading to outdated contact information, low engagement, and missed opportunities for recruitment, fundraising, and brand advocacy. Maintaining accurate data and delivering relevant communications at scale requires manual effort and disparate tools.
Solution
AlmaConnect delivers a cloud‑based alumni and ex‑employee networking platform that centralizes profiles, continuously enriches them with AI‑driven data from LinkedIn and over 400,000 news sources, and surfaces actionable insights. The system normalizes titles, aliases, and company affiliations to enable precise segmentation and targeted outreach. Users can automate event planning, job posting, mentorship matching, and donation drives through an integrated workflow that syncs with ATS and CRM systems. Real‑time news alerts keep stakeholders informed of alumni achievements, supporting timely, context‑rich communications. All data handling follows privacy‑by‑design principles, with GDPR compliance, role‑based access controls, and AWS‑hosted infrastructure for secure, 24/7 availability. A dedicated account manager assists organizations in customizing the platform to align with their specific engagement strategies.
