In short, Massmind Portal provides:

• A robust content management system
• A community management system to promote participation of your audience with your website
• Broadcast tools to communicate via email with your audience
• Integration into a larger network through which we can easily promote your content, events, and promotion ideas

Our Unique Approach

We promote membership generated bottom-up participation in organizational discussion. This strategy ensures greater participation and use as opposed to traditional centrally broadcast or "top-down" communications to groups and audiences that are expensive and require staff to administer.

Massmind Portal Overview

• “Virtual Commons” for every class and alumni group integrated under the umbrella of YaleNet.
• Integration with AYA services and Yale databases and web applications from (universal login) to YaleStation.org
• Include an electronic broadcast channel as well as bulletin board and discussion tools.
• Encourage contributions from all interested members through easy to use posting, allowing these spontaneous contributions to connect the entire membership. Since participation reflects the natural interest of the group, there is minimal editorial expense for collecting an ever-increasing amount of compelling content.
• Increase participation rates among currently inactive constituents by facilitating easy periodic electronic communications.
• Provide centralized membership contact management with online access available to any authorized client administrators.
• Provide a fully “hosted” technology that requires no technical expertise or resources from the client.
