West Midlands IT Association
The West Midlands IT Association has several hundred members, each belonging to one of a number of branches that has its own local committee. The Association is managed by a board of directors.The portal web site that the Association specified required several levels of secure access, in addition to an open public area. The entire site and its content had to be managed by administrative staff at the Association's headquarters through a secure content management system, with very specific and unique requirements. The functionality was to include a directory of member companies, each with a profile that could be maintained by the member, from within its own secure area, with a quarantine system that required approval from the site administrator before it could 'go live'. Each branch was to have its own area that it could maintain itself, with a higher level of security for branch committee members, enabling confidential local branch information to be posted and shared. Finally, the board was to have an area with an even higher level of secure access where board level information could be posted and accessed by only board members.
Amongst the many other functional requirements, the site had to include a secure system to enable admin staff to post, and members to read, opportunities for tendering for work. Alongside this there had to be a system to enable opportunities for work to be submitted by the organisations placing the work. Secure news and events systems were required to enable targeted and categorised entries to be added and viewed. An event booking system with a secure online payment system was also needed. Forums were required to enable members to discuss topics and share information. An automatic mailing system to enable members to be sent targeted information and electronic newsletters was required, with an opt-in and opt-out facility. An additional requirement was for a secure poll system to be used to gauge the opinions of the membership on a wide range of topics. Altogether, the brief was extensive and comprehensive.
aXcessTen was able to meet all of the demanding requirements of the association, delivering the final portal on time, to specification and within budget.
