After using Almashines for a considerable amount of time, the Pune Institute of Computer Technology Alumni Association<\/a> (PAA) migrated to Vaave for a more full-fledged, flexible alumni solution that aligns better with their alumni engagement goals. Delighted with our service and offerings and initial onboarding experience, the association has recently upgraded to Vaave Magic<\/a>, an AI-based database-building tool, and identified 2000+ top alumni profiles <\/strong>that can be used for placements, mentoring, and more!     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PICT Alumni Association\u2019s Background & Alumni Engagement Objectives <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Registered in 2009, PICT Alumni Association aspires to strengthen ties between alumni and the institution through various alumni engagement activities to increase their participation in PICT\u2019s development initiatives. They want to establish regional alumni chapters, host numerous on and off-campus events, and provide exclusive services that benefit alumni to boost their involvement in all activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have used Almashines\u2019 portal for a couple of years only to realize that the platform can\u2019t cater to their alumni engagement goals and wanted an alumni management system which is accommodative, easy to use and offers a great experience to the alumni and the management alike. On the previous platform, alumni had to manually update their professional history, experience and skills, a tedious process that resulted in incomplete and outdated data.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Make the Switch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PICT Alumni Association decided that Vaave\u2019s offerings are more in line with their alumni engagement goals. While they explored other vendors, the association has ultimately chosen us due to the following key factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
