Benefits of Alumni Software

Every organization or educational institution has three kinds of people in its working cycle. The first are the employees who are working or studying presently with an institution. Their job is to take care of the primary function of the institution. The next are the probable employees or students who are possible assets to the institutions and have the potential to take the company to greater heights. The third and most important part of an institution is the alumni. The alumni are those who have moved on from an institution and they are the ones who also know the real potential of the institution. They also have a bond with this institution as it would have moulded them to be better personalities in one way or another.

Alumni of an institution need to be given recognition and acceptance as it would mould a better relationship and improve the scenario of a work or study environment. Internet forums are a great way to keep the alumni occupied not just for socializing but bonding with them to do good for the community as well as the institutions. Alumni software is an interface where the alumni can actively participate online for organizing various activities related to alumni relations. The interface is not just a social networking platform but has various options to keep the forum lively allowing more alumni to join and benefit from. Alumni association software not only helps to bring everyone together but also helps keep the tradition of the institution alive for years to come.

Alumni Clubs the new reliable, productive Social Networking Platform

Alumni meets bring a wave of nostalgia for everyone. In today’s well connected world why should alumni relations alone be treated with the emotion of nostalgia?  In fact many well known universities and institutions have their own alumni portal which I think is a great idea to help alumni keep in touch with friends as well as peers and faculty. Having a well designed alumni club can be highly beneficial to the people in terms of brainstorming with your amongst the members about career, social awareness or a collective purpose.

Alumni club must be independent of social networking sites and must rather be software solely dedicated to this invested upon by the institution so as to maintain a well updated record of its members. Alumni software do provide essential  and sought after alumni features such as a dedicated life time mail id’s, a platform to share thoughts, slides, posters, videos etc. as well as chat rooms and forums.

A few advanced software’s provide cloud sharing as well as remote access options. Alumni club are a great way to climb up the corporate ladder by having the right contacts. It can be mutually beneficial to all connected within the group. The best  alumni features is that all of the people connected can be vouched for by the institution hosting the software and each person can have just one id which eliminates the possibility of fakes which can have devastating career impacts. Maintaining good alumni associations have more to offer than imaginable and can be the best way to engage yourselves collectively in a productive and/or entertaining manner. Good alumni software offer updated alumni features designed for a user friendly experience.

Futuristic Alumni Management Software – What It will be Like..

Managing an alumni association is a complex task these days. Physical endeavours are rapidly being replaced by computerized procedures. The most common tasks being assigned to computers these days are maintaining –

•    Member lists segregated year and discipline wise
•    Region wise mailing lists for newsletters and event notification
•    Periodical updating of lists, member profiles and employment information and
•    Managing communications like mails, emails and SMS

Over the years the process of alumni management has become too complicated. They are today the principal point for exchanging ideas, discussing a wide range of national/international issues, employment, families and deciding career related issues.

Typical software like spread sheets, database managers and document programs are not adequate considering the vast amount of data that has to be handled. What is needed is dedicated alumni software that will perform most functions intuitively. It has to be user friendly so that even those who are not experts at using computers can benefit from it.

Here is what futuristic software for managing alumni will be expected to have –

•    Handle videos and audio file
•    Be cloud use compatible
•    Receive email communication
•    Send automated email to members
•    Chat, forum  and blog post features
•    Likeability with social media like Facebook and LinkedIn
•    Group discussion features
•    Abuse prevention management abilities
•    SMS integration for effective management
•    Newsletter creation features…and others

Software for managing alumni association will be ideal if they are capable of being used for disseminating information and for organizing guest lectures. In addition they should also be capable of creating a large repository of knowledge base in the form of essays, news clips, and more.
