First, we’d just like to give a quick nod to the team at Graduway. They’ve built a great product to help institutions create an online community for alumni, and a great sales team. There are features that are different between the two products and we can get into that in more detail, but let’s go through the top reasons educational institutions use Almabase over Graduway.
With both Almabase and iModules you need to just maintain one contract and one relationship to cater to all your alumni engagement and fundraising needs.
With Almabase, as with iModules, you get not just a software solution but also the expertise to help you drive your alumni programs forward and improve engagement.
There are similarities in features that are offered by the two solutions and a few differences, and we can get into those details, but let’s go through the top reasons educational institutions use Almabase over iModules.
A private online network for alumni is an important part of a good alumni engagement program but that isn’t all. Almabase is a truly holistic approach to alumni engagement, providing you the tools to run any program - chapter management, class agent programs, directories, surveys, email newsletters, affinity groups, mentoring programs, virtual and in-person events, career guidance programs, and more.
Almabase helps you create programs that your alumni benefit from wherever they are, whenever they want, and then measure engagement across all these programs. Almabase is the Swiss Army knife for alumni engagement programming, not just a social network.
Picture this. You build another Facebook, with all the features it has, but none of the people. Would it be useful? Certainly not! For any community to be successful, it’s not just about allowing your members to connect but to truly create reasons to drive their participation. Almabase has been built from scratch with participation in mind. From your alumni success consultant to built-in gamification elements, Almabase drives more people to your programs. Whether it is to drive more virtual engagement, to increase attendance at events, to inspire more volunteerism, or to drive more donors to fundraising campaigns, Almabase is the go-to for schools and universities.
