Protech has supported a leading professional body to provide additional member value, by integrating ProConnect with Cantarus online communities platform Discourse.
The online communities platform compromises of a general forum and special interest areas which focus on specific industry related topics. The platform will encourage members to interact with like minded professionals to discuss key challenges and other areas of interest.
Enhancing member engagement is a key goal for the organisation and therefore this new benefit will support our client to drive interaction with its members and ultimately the organisation itself. Prior to the pandemic, the professional body offered lots of networking opportunities for members to attend from smaller events to large conferences. However, due to the current restrictions within the UK, many of these have had to be cancelled. The new platform will provide the interactivity that a large proportion of members will value.
Integration between ProConnect and Discourse will allow the organisation to serve up a personalised experience when individual members log into the community.
Ian Roach, Pre-Sales Consultant for Protech said “Supporting this new benefit for our professional body client will add further value to their membership offering, and crucially, allow the organisation to gain further industry knowledge and insights from members.
