Eyebrow: Alumni Prospect Management
Title: FROM 3 Weeks to 3 Minutes - Ivy League School Finds
Million Dollar Donor
Deck: ADVIZOR frees up development managers to get the right answers quickly.
Every
major private university faces the same questions in raising money from its
alumnae. Here are just a few:
Which alumnae has the greatest giving
potential?
What are the triggers for when the university
should engage him or her for a gift?
Which segments of alumni are most likely to
give and in what way? and,
Which top prospects are not giving to their
potential?
An Ivy League university needed better answers.
The problem wasn’t information. It never is. There were millions of rows of alumnae data. But it was often presented in roll-up and/or summarized form.
The development department was held hostage by cumbersome reporting structures
and a dependency on IT. They couldn’t get the answers they really needed to make
strategic prospect management decisions when they needed them.
Creating another large business intelligence
platform that required an entire brigade of IT experts to manage the process was
not an option.
The data was there. But the tool to
slice-and-dice the data on demand was not.
Dashboard Democracy
The university purchased ADVIZOR’s visual
discovery software for its development managers. The department easily created a
set of dashboards that were made available over the web. Once the dashboards
were created, the development managers went to work. No more waiting on IT. What
used to take weeks took only minutes. They had access to both the data and the
tool that helped them find the answers in the data.
Powered by patented data visualization, leading
edge predictive analytics, and in-memory-data-management technology, ADVIZOR
freed up the university’s development managers to get the right answers on
demand.
The Senior Vice President of Development
recently said, “With ADVIZOR
we can
now distribute information out to our frontline managers and offload the work.
Our development managers can now get answers in three minutes that used to take
three weeks. The result is better assignments and more targeted prospect
messages and trips.
“This has been critical to achieving our Capital Campaign."
ADVIZOR Solutions−the power of business
intelligence software without the headaches, time, and expense of traditional BI
platforms and IT infrastructure.
