Interactive Chat Messaging
Beautiful chat, but more. Aluminate includes a fluid and intuitive chat interface used not only for traditional messaging but also coordinates actions such as handling inter-member connection requests. Users can view the full history of your relationships on a single channel.
Open Connection Networks
Deploy multiple targeted, self-organising, peer-to-peer mentoring programmes. Each network can service a different connection profile – for example student-alumni, alumni-alumni or even staff-staff. The user-managed request interaction scales globally with minimal staff resource. Aluminate eMentoring avoids the resource-intensive process of manually matching mentors with mentees but includes all the necessary functions to safeguard the user experience. An alumni engagement software you can rely on.

All the flexibility of the Open Networks but for more serious connection programmes with a commitment of ‘high touch’ staff resource to maintain quality. Our alumni engagement software allows you to approve who has access to Managed Networks as well as quality check requests between members. This delivers the perfect ‘high tech, high touch’ solution and is great where your participants are VIPs or require extra support.
