GFA B.I.S. Services

GFA B.I.S. is supporting the SV in several ways, including the setup of a CiviCRM instance for the management of the manifold contacts the SV has to maintain. The system allows the members of the SV to quickly find possible speakers for a conference based on carefully selected criteria and to organize such events directly from within. The system will hold available default layouts for various newsletters that the SV needs to send out, helping with their automatic delivery to registered recipients. At the same time, the system will support the team in adhering to regulation such as the GDPR while working with their contacts. Interested people can easily register themselves for newsletters through a Web interface, and can just as easily opt out of a newsletter again.
