MemCom Awards shortlist revealed
We are pleased to announce that Box UK has been shortlisted in three categories in the 2017 MemCom Awards, which celebrate excellence in membership marketing, communications, and product and service development.
The SFIAplus project Box UK delivered for BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT has received two nominations, for “Most Innovative Use of Data” and “New Product Development (learning resource or member benefit)”. In addition to this, the software development consultancy has been shortlisted in the “Sector Supplier/Agency of the Year” category, in recognition of its long-term strategic involvement in supporting the membership sector.
Sinéad Whelan, Head of Membership at TOPRA is on the MemCom 2017 judging panel: “I’d like to congratulate all the very worthy shortlisted award entries. The standard of entries was exceptionally high this year which reflects all the outstanding work that’s coming out of the sector. I’m looking forward to honouring the best in membership, communications and leadership at the awards ceremony next month. Let’s celebrate our success!”
A roadmap for digital transformation success
SFIAplus is BCS’s market-leading skills framework, used by many of the UK’s largest businesses to ensure their IT functions remain strong and sustainable for years to come. Box UK has helped the institution make the most of this incredibly valuable asset, defining a progamme of work to extend and enhance SFIAplus alongside modernising and extending their commercial offering to deliver improved levels of conversion, engagement and retention.
These improvements have not only helped to safeguard the success of SFIAplus, ensuring BCS is perfectly primed to become the de facto skills tool for IT professionals across the globe, but has provided industry professionals with a resource that can truly help them apply IT to improve the world in which we live – supporting the institution’s ultimate aim of “making IT good for society”.
Extensive membership experience
Box UK’s on-going partnership with BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT is one of many successful relationships it has built within the membership sector, having worked on a diverse range of project covering the end-to-end lifecycle with some of the country’s largest membership organisations to tangibly and positively impact their strategic visions.
The software development consultancy will also be sharing the insight and expertise it has built up at this year’s MemCom conference – where the team will be delivering a talk about digital transformation for membership institutions – and holding a number of events through the rest of the year specifically focused around common goals and objectives within the membership sector.
A fantastic achievement
“Being shortlisted in three MemCom Award categories is a fantastic achievement, and it’s great to see the work we’ve delivered for BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT and numerous other membership organisations be honoured in this way,” said Box UK’s Managing Director Benno Wasserstein in response to the announcement. “Our client relationships in this sector span up to a decade, and in this time we’ve gained an in-depth understanding of the key strategic challenges facing membership institutions; combining this with the digital expertise and focus on quality we’re known for to deliver solutions that really make a difference. With the membership industry currently going through a particularly exciting period of digital transformation, I’m looking forward to seeing how this progresses in the coming years, and how we can continue to support member organisations in achieving their aims.”
