Special Olympics Great Britain (GB) has partnered with digital transformation specialists Alirity to ensure that the charity has the most efficient and secure data system in place.
Principally focusing on enhancing the Salesforce software that Special Olympics GB has been utilising for the last four years, the partnership will create a more user-friendly and efficient data management system to better serve its network of clubs across England, Scotland and Wales.
We’ve been seeking improvements to our data management system for some time and wanted to make our Special Olympics GB registration and accreditation processes as easy as possible for our network of clubs.
“We started working with Alirity 12 months ago to help us achieve these goals, whilst also ensuring that we can improve our organisational efficiencies, collect more appropriate information about our athletes and volunteers, and retain the highest levels of data security.
“As well as completing an initial data cleanse, to ensure that any duplicate information was removed and increase our capacity to record more detailed information, the Alirity team has implemented new processes that ultimately save time for all users. We’re grateful for their support and look forward to our continued work with them through this new partnership.”
Charlie Symonds, CEO of Alirity "At Alirity, we are incredibly proud to partner with Special Olympics GB. Our collaboration over the past year has demonstrated how technology can enable transformative change.
“By enhancing their data management processes, we are not only supporting their mission but also empowering athletes and volunteers across the country.
“We have learnt a lot of the course of the year, we look forward to continuing this impactful work and witnessing the remarkable achievements of Special Olympics GB in the years to come."
Special Olympics GB uses the power of sport to transform the lives of people with intellectual disabilities, providing regular training and competitions. Operating in England, Scotland and Wales, the charity has more than 6,600 athletes benefitting from opportunities in 27 different sports, which are delivered by a devoted team of 3,800 volunteers.
