How AiSynapTech Helped an Educational Institution Boost Alumni Engagement by 62% with Salesforce Experience Cloud 

Introduction

For many educational institutions, alumni are more than just former students—they are vital community members, donors, and brand ambassadors. Yet, one institution struggled to maintain strong alumni ties due to an outdated and clunky portal. Recognizing the need for change, they partnered with AiSynapTech to modernize their approach and foster a thriving alumni network. 

The Problem

An aging alumni portal was limiting engagement, leading to missed opportunities for community building and fundraising.

The client’s alumni platform was outdated, non-mobile responsive, and difficult to navigate, leading to disengagement and low donation levels. Key Pain Points: 

Non-mobile Friendly:

Alumni could not access the portal easily via smartphones or tablets.

Poor User Experience:

Complex navigation discouraged interaction.

Low Engagement Rates:

Only a small fraction of alumni were active participants.

Limited Personalization:

The portal offered generic content, not tailored updates or communications.

Donation Decline:

A cumbersome donation process deterred contributions.
