Alzheimer's Society chooses Jadu for online future
(PRLEAP.COM) The Alzheimer’s Society, the UK’s leading care and research charity for people with dementia, their families and carers, has partnered with content management specialist, Jadu, to underpin the growth of its online infrastructure.
The charity provides services, information, guidance and help through its network of 25,000 members across England, Wales and Northern Ireland and won disability charity of the year at the 2007 Charity Awards in recognition of its campaign to drive the issue of dementia up the public and political agenda.
Recognising the increased demand for online information the organisation has chosen Jadu’s technology for an ambitious programme of redeveloping its online presence, in a way that caters for all its users.
The first phase of the programme includes moving the Alzheimer’s Society intranet to Jadu Intranet 2.0, creating a payments system for receiving donations online and giving users the ability to find local services by integrating with a back office database. The second phase of activity will tackle CRM integration and begin the process of rolling out local websites using Jadu Galaxies.
Said Dajani, website manager at the Alzheimer’s Society, says, "Encouraging greater public understanding of dementia and engaging with our volunteers and staff using the same platform is key for us.
"The new content management system from Jadu gives us the opportunity to make sure that these websites are accessible and mean we can quickly develop new projects. Jadu has shown real commitment in understanding our specific needs as a charity."
Suraj Kika, CEO at Jadu, explains, "It is vital that the Alzheimer’s Society has a strong and inclusive online presence that provides all its users with the best experience. Jadu understands how to integrate with business systems and we are the specialists at delivering usable, accessible websites.
"Clear navigation is the key to the success of this project and it’s a pleasure to be working with an organisation that has shown such commitment in understanding their audience and delivering new levels of online service," concludes Suraj.
The Alzheimer’s Society has selected Jadu CMS, Intranet 2.0 and the Jadu Galaxies platform to enable rapid development of web based information systems. The new website will be launched later this year.
