Meet the new NOC Alumni Portal - Entrepreneurship community central

The alumni of the NUS Overseas College (NOC) have had the privilege of entrepreneurial experiences the world over, from Silicon Valley to Stockholm, Beijing to Israel. For years, the alumni only had one avenue of connecting with each other - a Google Group that was not robust enough to sustain a growing community of entrepreneurs. Savant Degrees created a robust portal for the alumni to share their experiences, connect with each other and create new opportunities for one another.

Having a Savant on your team

User research

The Savant team conducted several user-based studies to understand what the alumni valued most about the Google Group and sought to replicate those behaviours that kept them coming back.

User experience design

Building upon the results of those studies, the Savants combined the underlying use cases with new paradigms in interaction design on the web.

Product development

Finally, the team architected and built the technology that brought the designs to life, allowing the alumni to come home to a virtual home that is ready to form the foundation of more entrepreneurial collaboration throughout the years.

The difference we made

The biggest challenge was to ensure that the alumni adopted this new technology after using the Google Group for years. In engaging with key members of the alumni in our user group interviews, we ensured buy-in from the most influential individuals in the alumni.

The NOC Alumni now has a robust and scalable community platform to continue their entrepreneurial endeavours with the help of others with similar experiences.
