British College Of Osteopathic Medicine Solution
The Solution
Punch was used as the underlying solution for this project and enabled BCOM to control content management of the College, Clinic and Extranet sites.
Each individual site offers different transactional processes.
The BCOM College site offers an Information resource with interaction and communication features for prospective students, existing students and BCOM staff.
Harlequin Solutions created a site design that embraced BCOM’s reputation as a college that leads in its sector. Clear and intuitive navigation designs with clear routes to areas of interaction were also created. The most important function of the college site was to enable potential students to register for a prospectus, and by registering, complete a preliminary pre-qualification process actioned by a questionnaire.
The Clinic site offers an information resource with interaction and communication features for existing and potential clients (clinic attendees).
The brief for Clinic site mirrored the College site. Clear intuitive navigation and strong branding with emphasis on the availability of professional highly qualified and experienced Clinic staff, offering a range of Osteopathic treatments in a friendly approachable environment.
The key transactional process was offering clear and concise methods of contacting the clinic to discuss treatments and make appointments.
The Extranet site offers an up to date information resource and means of communication between students and the faculty. A valuable and focussed resource was offered by providing the ability to display specific information to specific groups of users, for example: year one students only needing to see information relevant to course work they are studying. The faculty has the ability to publish up to date information such as cancelled lectures, timetable changes and introduction of a new BCOM staff member.
