The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) is the international voice of the building professional, representing an unequalled body of knowledge concerning the management of the total building process. IndigoBlue has recently completed a strategic IT review which addressed the challenges of internationalisation and the opportunities offered by the Internet in delivering a high-quality homogenised service which is location agnostic. Key recommendations included the implementation of a new content-driven web platform and a systems architecture for delivery of self-service administration to members.
The recommendations have been accepted by the CIOB’s Board of Trustees and IndigoBlue has now been engaged to provide consultancy to support and oversee the implementation.

Seminar: Engaging the Community
12th June 2009
Matthew Taylor, CEO of the RSA hosted a seminar with IndigoBlue on "Engaging the community - the challenges and opportunities for the third sector" on 11th June 2009.
Charities, societies, associations and other third-sector organisations have the opportunity to provide new ways to encourage participation and engage with volunteers, members and other stakeholders and to allow interaction. New social and networking tools provide great potential, but also represent significant threats and risks. Harnessing the wisdom of crowds and providing better support for volunteers and members is vital to help underpin the development of the sector.
IFA
8 Apr 2009
IndigoBlue has just completed a strategic IT review for the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA) and written a request for proposals (RFP) to send to tenderers for a replacement website.
The IFA wishes to put IT at the heart of its ambitious growth plans; it has big aspirations – to grow its membership substantially through expansion in the UK and internationally. The combination of the RFP and the results of the review provide the IFA with foundations it needs to deliver the desired level of service to members, cost effectively; providing the platform for expansion.
