This project recognises that increased business value can be derived by the efficient interoperability of systems and processes. It takes the current engagement process between students, alumni, and the business community and, by maximising the opportunities afforded by web technology,tranforms it into a global knowledge community referred to in this bid as AstonConnect+. The innovation of AstonConnect+ will support a mentoring programme and a number of networking initiatives aimed at sharing best practice and disseminatying knowledge to alumni. AstonConnect+ brings together diverse stakeholders with different needs and expertise and facilitates the cross-fertilisation of ideas and knowledge exchange to the mutual benefit of all participants.
