The Problem The Federation of Independent Illinois Colleges and Universities hired Digital Structures to create the nearly 100 year old association's web presence. The public needed information about members, legislators, special events, news, and The Federation in general. Member schools needed information about goings-on within the group and about each other. They also needed a way to maintain data and keep it current. In addition, our client needed administrative control of the whole ball of wax. In short, multiple users with different privileges needed to access and modify a common set of data.

Requirements Create a public web application with a navigable interface to special notices, schedules of events, a membership directory, a directory of representatives, recent news, and a place for members to login. Create a private application that provides additional information to members and allows editing member profile information. Develop a private web application that allows admins to create, edit, and delete Memebers, scheduled events, and special notices.

The Solution The member schools that make up The Federation share a community on the web. The tool's functionality provides the framework and delivers real value and saves real time for users. Updates and changes are easy for our client, and this now mature application is stable and longstanding. Please visit The Federation at www.federationedu.org.
