How Continuum Have Supported Macmillan Jersey with Alteryx for Good
Alteryx for Good is a program provided by Alteryx that supplies a free Alteryx Designer licence to non-profit organisations. This license allows them to streamline time-consuming manual processes, make better data-driven decisions, and focus on doing more of their incredible work.
Supporting local charities is an important initiative at Continuum, and we also provide free time from one of our experienced consultants to complement the Alteryx for Good scheme.
Most recently, Continuum’s consultant George has been assisting Macmillan Jersey with streamlining and automating their data processing. Continuum used Alteryx to automate two of their data processing tasks:
The consolidation of fundraising data from multiple sources into an extract to be reviewed by the finance team.
Data analysis to generate KPI scores used for marketing and management information reporting to their board of directors.
Alteryx has improved these data processes to be far more efficient, accurate, and dynamic, allowing Macmillan Jersey staff to free themselves from manual and time-consuming data management and enabling them to focus on optimizing the fantastic services they provide.

This work has also provided stakeholders with a transparent view of the essential data impacting the charity at any given time, instead of waiting for the manual creation of quarterly reports.
Kevin Alway, Operations and Communications Manager for Macmillan Jersey said “The team at Continuum have provided invaluable time and resources to ensure our data is accurate, and help us focus on the figures that ensure our service users are getting the most from Macmillan Jersey”. Going forward – Macmillan Jersey look to utilise Alteryx to concatenate and streamline more data sets, allowing us to pull vital service information quickly and reliably. The team at Continuum have played a pivotal role in allowing us to adapt our services based on trends and stats, at a time when people using our services needed us the most”.
What’s more – everyone at Continuum are a pleasure to work with. We really are very lucky to call Dan and the team friends of Macmillan Jersey”.
Continuum wish to enable more charities to focus in on their data more effectively, and I would urge any Island-based charity to give them a call and speak to the team”.
We look forward to supporting MacMillan Jersey in the future to continue evolving its services through the use of Alteryx. We’re also looking to extend this service to other charities on Island, so if you work for a non-profit organization and are interested in taking advantage of the Alteryx for Good program, contact us today.
