This digital transformation by IE Digital has made a massive difference for the membership team at ABDO. The reduction in paperwork is just unbelievable. We used to come back after Christmas to hundreds of membership renewal forms piled high – now almost everything is online. Members are renewing earlier and without the need for us to manage the process. And each new member now takes us a fraction of the time to process with just a couple of clicks.

FAQs

What results can digital transformation deliver for membership bodies?

They can be transformational. For one professional membership body, admin time per membership application fell by 87%, the team now handles annual renewals with half the previous resource, and four times as many members renew early.

Where do we start?

By mapping your processes in detail. We look at the journeys for applicants, members and staff, identify every point where the website needs to talk to your CRM, and prioritise the changes that will save the most time. On a complex project, this planning shapes a series of agile sprints, so the most valuable changes arrive first.

Can digital transformation create new income?

Yes. Monetised content, online service delivery and targeted fundraising can all increase income, which can be reinvested into supporting existing and future members.

How do you keep critical systems running at peak times?

Membership renewal periods and application deadlines are mission-critical, so systems must be resilient. We host websites and portals securely, with monitoring and premium support, and every update is carefully tested before it goes live, so your processes and integrations keep working around the clock.
