Challenge

JMP has long recognized the importance of establishing early relationships with students as they learn statistics. For over 18 years, JMP has supported educational institutions, ranging from research universities to high schools, by providing their software to students and educators. However, as the program expanded globally, JMP faced challenges in ensuring that students could seamlessly access their software while maintaining direct relationships with users.

“It was important for us to have a direct relationship with students. We want them to know who we are and not be represented by a third-party reseller.” – Curt Hinrichs – JMP Academic Program Director

Previously, JMP relied on a third-party service to verify academic users, but this solution did not fully align with the company’s goal of fostering direct engagement with students. Additionally, JMP sought a more modernized and scalable system to handle the increasing volume of users worldwide.

Solution

To address these challenges, JMP partnered with Proxi.id, an academic verification service known for its effective user flows and respect for privacy. Proxi.id allowed JMP to integrate verification directly into their systems, enabling them to maintain a relationship with their users.

“We built our own store, so we needed a solution that could integrate with our own processes. And Proxi.id was, after our evaluation, the best.”

This integration was key in modernizing JMP’s academic program, utilizing single sign-on for more robust and efficient user verification. Proxi.id’s ability to seamlessly verify users without retaining their data ensured compliance with company and global privacy regulations, such as GDPR in Europe and similar regulations in the United States & Canada. Moreover, Proxi.id’s verification process allowed JMP to reach new regions and users that were previously difficult to access, further expanding their global footprint.

“A strength of the Proxi.id service is the ability for users to seamlessly verify their academic status within our store process without compromising on user privacy.”

Results

The Proxi.id verification service has helped JMP successfully launch a new student store, allowing students and educators from over 90 countries to access JMP software easily and securely.

“Proxi.id has allowed us to reach many new academic users, at more institutions than ever before.”

The modern verification process reduces the risk of unauthorized access using single sign-on, ensuring that only verified students and educators can tap into JMP’s rich catalogue of academic offerings. The effectiveness of Proxi.id’s verification has been a standout feature, providing academic users with an intuitive verification process leading to improved user satisfaction. JMP has also been able to reach new institutions in regions where they previously had limited or no presence, furthering their mission to support statistical education worldwide.

“Our experience has been very positive so far. We really appreciate the team and how responsive they are when we do have questions. We look forward to growing our program with Proxi.id.”
