Tracesmart launch enhanced alumni data solutions

Jan. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- UK data specialist, Tracesmart (http://www.tracesmartcorporate.co.uk/), has released a new volume based tracing solution specifically for alumni development professionals at schools, colleges and universities. ‘Smartlink Alumni’ allows educational establishments to reconnect with their lost alumni (http://www.tracesmartcorporate.co.uk/alumni-search/) by cleansing and updating contact data, enabling the continuity of communication between institutions and their past students.

The recently launched service allows alumni records to be verified, lost members to be located to their new address and the socio-economic profile of the entire database to be established. This provides institutions with the opportunity to invite past students to events, tailor correspondence and target potential major donors.

On completion of the cleansing process, alumni records are segregated into verified, unverified, gone away, traced and deceased, allowing alumni administrators to minimize wastage. New contact numbers can also be appended via Tracesmart’s Phonematch Alumni product. These screening services are available within Tracesmart’s online portal, Smartcleanse or as a managed solution.

Smartcleanse is a newly launched online data cleansing bureau that caters for many markets and is at the cutting edge of data management. The online service provides a highly secure and easy-to-use portal that enables Tracesmart clients to maintain and cleanse their data themselves and in their own time. Following a recent data cleansing exercise, Cardiff Metropolitan University’s Director of Development, Andrew Walker stated, “With a mailing list of around 30,000 magazines every year, we have to be confident that the data we hold on our former students is correct. Tracesmart identified and updated a large number of invalid addresses within our database, ensuring our magazines were delivered to the right alumni to the right place, generating considerable savings.”

Based in Cardiff, Tracesmart, provide people tracing, identity verification and data cleansing solutions to a large and diverse range of companies and sectors. An established data solution provider in many fields with strong working relationships with large blue chip companies, Tracesmart continues to break new ground, producing brand new products and delivery methods for ease of use and promptness.

Tracesmart’s founder and Managing Director, Mike Trezise commented, “Our new online portal is proving to be a great asset, not only for us as a business but also for our users. It provides a quick and reliable means for our clients to cleanse and search for missing alumni members without the intervention of our staff. The highly secure, self-serve online batch-processing portal is receiving enthusiastic reviews. Smartcleanse is the way forward for data management.”
