Alumni Finder | Experian Data Quality

Definition:

Alumni finder is a tool that attempts to update alumni databases by following their movements after graduation.

Keeping track of alumni can be a frustrating and laborious process, but it is absolutely essential work for colleges, universities and other educational institutions.

Keeping alumni information up to date helps to ensure:

Efficient and effective fundraising campaigns
A higher number of matches when using NCOA^®
Better results using tools like alumni finder

It is beneficial to have a correctly-formatted address when attempting to track alumni. This is due to the fact that the USPS^® requires address information to be standardized before the NCOA^® service may be used.

Address verification products provide educational institutions with tools that are helpful in tracking alumni through:

Interactive address correction
Address standardization
Access to the NCOALink^®

Moreover, front-end solutions empower departmental staff and student workers to capture accurate address information the first time over the phone, through the mail or on the web.
