DemandTools helps manage the demands of data loading

DemandTools is used by several departments across campus. I use it to load and manage data for the admissions office at WPI. We receive data from a wide range of sources. For example, we purchase names from third-party vendors, have registration for campus events, high school visits, college fairs, etc. I load those lists using Finding Ids, Mass Effect and use the Single Table dedupe tool to merge duplicates not caught by our scheduled jobs. DemandTools saves us hours of time as we do not have to manually add all those contacts to the database using inquiry forms. We aren't recreating contacts already in the database and we can easily adjust and update contact information for recruits already in the database who may have moved, or changed email addresses. We save resources by using the schedule jobs feature to dedupe records after hours. Also, DemandTools has been a life-safer to mass correct data.
