Lexis for DP. Acceptable and cost-effective replacement?

  • 1.  Lexis for DP. Acceptable and cost-effective replacement?

    Esteemed Colleagues,

    I write you with a burning question in my shop.

    We love Lexis for Development Professionals, but annual 10% price increases are too much for my little private liberal arts undergrad university. We use LexisDP for prospect research, bio/demo updates, and we occasionally purchase data appends from the company.

    Have any of you found and experienced a true competitor that costs less? Or a "close enough" option that costs less?

    Gratefully,

    Stephen

    Hi Stephen,

     

    I highly recommend AlumniFinder.  They have all the tools you need and it's on a cost per use basis (unlimited seats) rather than LN's seat licensing set up.  I've implemented this at two universities with an 80% cost savings.
