The challenge

CITF (Collaboration Innovation Technology Forum) is the UK's leading membership organisation for technology professionals in enterprise, academia, charities and the public sector.

CITF ran its membership on Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. This caused several problems:

  • Managing membership and events was cumbersome
  • Data quality was hard to maintain
  • Administration overheads were unnecessarily high
  • Reporting on member benefits took a lot of resource

CITF needed a system to manage membership and renewals, report on member benefits, organise events, improve team collaboration and provide robust data management.

What we did

CRM-UK implemented a CRM covering:

  • Membership management and event organisation
  • Integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Automated reporting on member benefits
  • Better team collaboration

The results

  • Membership and renewals are easy to manage
  • Reports on member benefits, including resources accessed and events attended, are produced automatically
  • Events are managed in the CRM
  • Data management is robust and efficient

FAQ

Common questions

What did CITF use before theCRM?

Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.

Can the CRM report on member benefits?

Yes. CITF gets automatic reports on member benefits, including the resources members accessed and the events they attended.

Can we move across from our current CRM?

Yes. We are experts at migrating data and have migrated hundreds of systems. In fact theCRM has APIs configured to easily migrate customers from Salesforce, HubSpot, GoldVision and many other systems.

Data migration is a standard part of your set-up project.

Rockall Safety, for example, moved from Act! to theCRM and grew sales 15% in the first quarter. See the case study.
