A global initiative using CiviCRM events with extensive Drupal integration
United Methodist Communications (UMCOM), the global communications arm of the United Methodist Church needed a platform to host thousands of events and potentially hundreds of thousand participants for its Rethink Church global program; UMCOM worked with us to specify, design and implement an integrated CiviCRM and Drupal solution.
This flagship program includes a several event offerings from small church events, to larger regional events with dozens of individual projects, to massive global initiatives with over 1000 events on the same day.
A few highlights include:
- Creating and managing events through the CiviCRM backend, through a Drupal portal, and through integration with other UMCOM systems.
- Providing a portal for local church leaders and regional leaders, with no or minimal training, to manage dozens of regional events.
- Providing Localization with MaxMind and Google Places integration.
For non profits and member driven organizations, creating visually stunning and engaging websites that engages their constituents drives value. To do this effectively, choosing the right combination of Website tool (CMS) and backend database (CMS/AMS) is essential. Almost always, the Drupal/CiviCRM combination is an excellent tool set choice because of their power and strong integration – The CiviCRM/Drupal integration is the best CRM/CMS integration by far.
