We are in the process of developing a proof of concept membership management system and integrated website for the Institute of Bankers in South Africa.

The IOB has a dated website with no integration to a very old, cumbersome Microsoft Access membership system, resulting in substantial inefficencies within the organisation. AssocWorks is building a fully integrated platform using Drupal for the new website and CiviCRM to manage their administration and member engagement.

The new platform has a 6-month payback period for the development and integration, whereafter the IOB will be cash-positive.

The new platform will incorporate advanced website integration for membership and other service applications, online member directories, member-only content and forums, while the CiviCRM backen will deliver functionality for :

• Contact and CRM system
• Membership Management
• Event management
• Powerful personalised email and SMS communication system
• Integrated financial system 
• Full online integration of membership applications, including online payments, invoicing and renewals
• Management of professional designations
• Continuing Professional Development 
• Recognition of Prior Learning
