The client
A society of scholars with centuries of research behind it. It is a non-profit based in Belgium, with minimal IT.
The challenge
The research data was scattered. There was no central database, and no way to publish the work publicly in a structured form.
The project started when budget became available.
What we did
The core platform. We implemented Salesforce on the core platform.
A data model for consolidation and publication. We designed the data model to bring the research together in one place, and to support public publication later.
Light by design. We kept the setup simple enough for a team with minimal IT to run it.
The result
The society now has a central database for its scholarship. It is live and data entry is under way. Public publication is planned within a year.
