One of the biggest system changes seen by the England &
Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has just been installed by GPW
Consultancy. Labeled as the Information Gateway to
Recreational Cricket, SharePoint Portal Server is delivering
key data to the ECB's Development Officers, Cricket Clubs,
Sport England, Local Educational Authorities, Child Welfare
Officers and more, around the country using a secure
extranet. The system now has 2,000 registered users
and is helping to raise £'s millions for grassroots cricket. Key
Performance Indicators, Club Development Plans, CRB
certification, Special Projects all require data to be
shared amongst a large geographically dispersed user base of
permanent staff and volunteers.
Stephen Wilder, the Project Manager and a partner of GPW
Consultancy, said "SharePoint's ease of use, ability to
collate data from multiple sources, control who has access
to the data and speed of development were very impressive.
We implemented quite a complex pilot site in a matter of
weeks where previously we would have expected it to take
months to deliver the same functionality. And what is
more we successfully rolled out the pilot site to 500 users
over a period of one week. Not bad for a pilot!"
"This system will help the ECB identify and nurture top
cricketers of the future and hopefully enable England to
retain the Ashes now that they have won them back from
Australia!"
If you would like more information about what we have done
and how we do it, or feel that you too would like to team up
