Discover how corporate community can benefit organizations and employees, and learn how EnterpriseAlumni can help you build a thriving alumni platform
Read moreA Corporate Alumni Platform for the Enterprise means it works as part of the ecosystem, is simple to integrate, access & operate and doesn't live in a silo.
When we talk about a Corporate Alumni Platform for the Large Enterprise, we often talk about 'fully integrated': the requirement for the enterprise that the Alumni Platform works as part of the ecosystem, not as a silo. It means the application is enterprise-grade, best in class, integrates across the existing IT stack and is consumer-focused.

So, for example, internal recruiters in the organization might be able to access Alumni talent search or take actions such as bring Alumni into talent communities, all without having to define 'new' roles and permissions in the application.
The point being: they're simple, easy, and unified. And most of all, a platform will allow alumni to drive value anywhere in the organization, in real time.
