Towards the end of 2019, we (UWSU) decided we needed to refresh our website … lucky for us, the team at SUMS was more than helpful to ensure the onboarding process was as smooth as possible.
Yes, we had challenges, it wouldn't be a project otherwise, but the excellent communication with us and the university, constant updates, and the calm and collective nature of the SUMS team reassured us that the project was in good hands.
That was only phase 1 of our website development and are looking forward to further improving the functionality of the website and streamlining our processes to make life easier for all, and I'm confident in SUMS's ability to support us through that process.

The SUMS team made the process of onboarding really simple and easy to keep track of progress. They helped us navigate the technical aspects, including working with the University's teams to get up and running.
We successfully launched our new site in August, and had a sucessful Freshers with thousands of students signing up to join societies. The team at SUMS have continued supporting us with queries and understanding the new platform as we progress through the year. We're really excited to see where we go next with SUMS!

Earlier this year we embarked on a move across to SUMS which included an integration with 4 external platforms: the University student database, our marketing segmentation profile algorithm, the sports centre membership platform and our e-comms software.
Despite this feeling like quite a challenge when we started, each were achieved smoothly and with surprising ease. We set and achieved a go live date of the first week in August, and ensured we were up and running ...
Throughout the onboarding process we found the SUMS team to be receptive and patient to our many queries and occasional development requests. We have enjoyed working with them and feel that together we built a friendly and honest team spirit, certainly not a given with an external supplier, and hope that this continues throughout this year and beyond.
