IE Digital stood out head and shoulders above the competition in their commitment to ‘get it right’ in tackling the challenges we threw at them. For us, a project of this scale was daunting but with IE Digital’s creativity combined with strong project management skills, I believe we have produced an excellent start to the project that will help us attract the participants we need to make the AFTP a success. They produced a visually appealing but technically sophisticated site, application and CRM system with the features and functionality we were looking for.

FAQs

What does digital transformation look like in education?

It varies. It might mean moving paper-based applications online, bringing dozens of school websites onto one platform, or joining up systems so data flows between your website, CRM and learning platforms. The goal is always the same: save time, reduce admin and create better experiences for students, parents and staff.

How can a Multi-Academy Trust manage many school websites?

With a shared platform. A custom multi-site platform gives each school local control over its own content, while letting the Trust roll out central content and keep standards consistent. Parents get a familiar experience whichever school they’re looking at, and your team only has one system to look after.

Can you join up systems across different institutions?

Yes. Partnerships between universities or colleges often involve different processes and systems. We design one seamless user journey on top, with online applications and a shared CRM database that triggers the right emails at the right time, so users experience a single, joined-up organisation.

How do you involve students in the design process?

We test ideas with real users wherever possible, from primary school pupils to postgraduates. Watching young people use prototypes shows us what engages them and what gets in the way, so the finished product works for the people it’s designed for.
