Background
Blackrock College Union is the largest Past Pupils Union in Ireland with over 7,000 members. The Union needed to reduce the amount of overhead associated with managing Union activities such as membership payments, event registration, administration of news and reports. The Union was also very keen to introduce interactive features that would bring together members from all over the world.

Solution
Gordian began working with the Union in Dec 2006. The first step was to develop an eStrategy for the following 18 month period. The eStrategy involved the development of an E-Newsletter engine, new interactive web site and the consolidation of a number of database systems. The E-News which is circulated to 3000 members each month was delivered in June 07 and the new web site with database consolidation was launched in March 08.

Client Relationship
The Gordian Team continue to work very closely with the Union providing support to the web administrators and developing additional web site enhancements.
