British Mensa, the society for high IQ individuals, has recently signed a contract with oomi™ to act as their membership technology partner.
Mensa was founded in England in 1946. Its objectives are to provide a stimulating intellectual and social environment for its members, to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity, and to encourage research into the nature, characteristics, and uses of intelligence. The society welcomes people from every walk of life whose IQ is in the top two per cent of the population, with the objective of enjoying each other’s company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities.
British Mensa sought to replace their current membership management system and CMS, in order to meet the future needs of the organisation, which is transforming itself to ensure that it remains successful in the 21st century, with membership growth, improved engagement, a modernised brand and a stronger voice.
“We are delighted to be starting our journey as an oomi customer and are very much looking forward to working with the team.”, remarks Cath Hill, Mensa’s Chief Executive. “We selected oomi because we liked what we saw in the CRM software and we felt there was good chemistry between the Mensa and oomi teams This was backed up with excellent references from existing clients about their experience of working with oomi.”
Mensa will be making use of the core oomi CRM and membership management modules, along with modules to manage events, their IQ test programme, finance with SAGE50 integration, committees, and product sales. It will also use the oomi online communities platform to increase engagement between volunteers and members, particularly for Mensa’s vitally important Special Interest Groups and Regions, which deliver activities and events for Mensa members.
“oomi provides us the flexibility of using WordPress as our website content management system (CMS) and we look forward to working with their team on the website design,” continues Hill. “Their collaborative approach, and responsiveness to our needs, has impressed us.”
Joel Trotman, Sales Director at oomi, comments: “We’re proud to welcome Mensa into the ever-growing number of membership organisations who trust us to support their membership services. It is especially pleasing to see our strengths in digital design and online community engagement being recognised and valued.”
