From scattered data to impact

Research and academic institutions need to show the real impact of their talent development activities.

But career data on alumni, beneficiaries, and other former affiliates, is scattered, incomplete, and difficult to analyze. Without it, it’s hard for institutions to stand out to funding agencies.

Manual searches and small surveys rarely capture the full picture.

Data ends up inconsistent or anecdotal, leaving institutions unable to answer basic questions about their alumni overall, like where they work or how quickly they advance. And crucially, they’re unable to show how those outcomes compare with cohorts who didn’t have access to the advanced research environments these institutions provide.

Alumni Analyzer streamlines data collection, applies rigorous analysis, and delivers clear, benchmarked insights.

We transform scattered information into credible evidence you can use to secure funding and tell compelling stories about your institution’s impact.

FAQs

  • What Alumni do you study?

    You decide who to include. Alumni can be former users, staff, or anyone who benefited from your facilities, programs or funding, within a given period. This may include students, interns, post-doctoral researchers, as well as other scientists and professionals. 

  • What data do you need for a study?

    We typically need alumni names, home university, if applicable, and the year in which they were associated with your organization. Additional details can add further value. Consider including how often or in what capacity they engaged (e.g. on-site user, data user, funding recipient) or demographic information.

  • What if we don’t already have Alumni data?

    That’s okay. Alumni Analyzer can help you collect it. We can reconstruct a sample of your alumni using publicly available information, such as research publications, professional profiles, and organizational websites.

  • How long does a study take?

    Once agreements are in place and we receive your input data, studies take 2–5 months depending on scope.

  • How much does it cost?

    Typical projects range from $10K–$40K, depending on the number of alumni, scope of analysis, and whether or not we perform alumni interviews. 

  • What about privacy and compliance?

    We act as a data processor under your direction. You remain in control of your data. All information is stored on secure servers with USA, EU/UK GDPR, and Canadian compliance built in.

  • In what format do you deliver the study results?

    Most clients receive a presentation-style PDF report with graphs and figures, a summary of key findings, and if applicable, alumni testimonials. Some data may also be delivered in a spreadsheet for integration into your alumni database.
