Bridging the Commonwealth with seamless collaboration

Introduction

The Commonwealth Secretariat’s unique value lies in fostering cooperation and developing expertise through collaborative working and knowledge sharing across the Commonwealth. To continue delivering on this mission, the Secretariat required a robust platform to enhance collaboration between its member countries.

The challenge

The Commonwealth Secretariat struggled to maintain secure, effective collaboration across 54 countries. Their previous solution lacked accessibility, leading to email reliance and inefficient document management, compromising user needs and security.

Finding the right solution

The Secretariat conducted an in-house evaluation followed by a formal tender process. IdeagenHuddle stood out due to its ease of setup, competitive pricing, and commitment to customer support.

The decision was made easy by Ideagen’s potential to meet their unique needs, making it the ideal choice for fostering collaboration across the Commonwealth.
