New Business Models
“With the traditional funding streams withering away at
such great speed, academic institutions have to think about
not only how to cut cost, but, preferably, how to create new
revenue … they have to think about their business model.”
Gartner - Business Model Innovation Examples In Education, Jan 2013

Case Study:
360Alumni is a great solution. It has added an important networking piece that we didn’t have before. Alumni have responded very well to the new community, saving my department time and development effort, and allowing for a smooth method of encouraging and incurring donations online.
