For the past four years, the college has used AFD’s Address Lookup, Email Validation, and Phone Validation solutions to ensure all student contact data that is entered by staff or students is valid.
“We added live phone and email validation from AFD Software to our address validation. Now, potential data entry errors are known immediately so they can be corrected – before being saved to our database. In addition, when communicating with students and next of kin by post, phone, and email – we now maximise the chance of connection. In short, AFD is helping us with contact data accuracy, GDPR compliance and the deliverability of communications – regardless of which channel we use to send them”.
