Creating a database of alumni information to make connections sustainable

The alumni association's directory is an important asset to the school and its alumni. Proper management and utilization of this asset is the most basic and important task in the management of an alumni association. Alumni association management is IT-enabled by AlumNet. It provides a database of alumni information and serves as a foundation for the proper management and effective utilization of the alumni roster. It improves the efficiency of administrative operations and the accuracy of rosters and strengthens lasting ties between the secretariat and alumni, as well as among alumni. AlumNet contributes to the revitalization and development of alumni associations.

Reliable in operation

Since its launch as a pioneering cloud/Saas-type member management system, AlumNet has been used by various organizations, mainly alumni associations. Many of these organizations have continued to use the system for a long period of time, with more than 99% of them continuing to use the system for more than three years.

2. Flexible pricing

You only need to pay for what you use.

Beyond the minimum configuration fee, you will be required to pay only for what you use per "number of members," "file space," "database capacity," "traffic volume," and "number of E-mails sent.

Start small and change plan as you grow

You can change the usage amount according to the increase in the number of members and the amount of data to be stored. Optional functions can be added or deleted later. This basically means that you can start small and gradually increase the usage and options.

Low initial cost

Standard plans are available for an initial cost of 0 yen. This keeps costs low at the time of installation.

3.Continuous improvement

We develop and maintain systems based on the philosophy of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI). Utilizing customer feedback from customer support and new knowledge obtained from code and resource maintenance, we make continuous system adjustments and improvements at least once a month referring to new technologies and styles.

While reflecting on adjustments and improvements, we use a synchronization system developed independently based on our experience to prevent accidents and human errors.

2. Security certification

In order to implement appropriate security measures and protect personal information, it is necessary to take an approach not only from the technical and physical aspects, but also from the organizational and human aspects, and to build a system to address these concerns. Therefore, we have established a personal information protection management system and an information security management system that meets the standards of the P-Mark and ISMS certification, and are working daily to collect information and improve functions while implementing and building appropriate security measures and system operations.
