Bespoke Software Testimonial − European Association for the Study of Obesity
EASO is the European Association for the Study of Obesity.
Testimonial of Euan Woodward (pictured right), Executive Director:
The European Association for the Study of Obesity was established in
1986 to promote research into obesity, facilitate contact between
individuals and organisations, and promote action that tackles
the obesity epidemic.
The association comprises 30 National
Association members representing more than 4000 individuals
and plays a major role in EU/WHO projects.
Each year we host the annual European Congress on Obesity (ECO). In May, 2011 we were in Istanbul. As you can imagine, with such a large number of people and places to organise, we needed to have our data in good working order. This is where Working Data stepped in. They compiled the data we had gathered from several sources and presented us with one, single, clean mailing list with which we could be confident to approach potential congress attendees. They then set up online cloud software for us to control our data. It has helped us to become much more effective and focussed as a team.
Throughout the whole process, we were confident that we had made the right choice. Franc at Working Data understood our issues and explained the possible solutions in a way that non-IT people like ourselves could make informed decisions about how we wanted to progress. We are happy to recommend Working Data to any other organisation looking for help with data.
