Sgt Peppers Foundation Trust Conference Stand

Yesterday, staffers from MES and ERS travelled up to Liverpool ‘on a magical mystery tour’ for the Foundation Trust Network Annual Conference. It has been good to ‘come together’ to ‘HELP!’ our database clients with latest additions to the system. Following feedback from this year’s user-group we are proud to be launching version 6 of our NHS Membership Database, here at MES we have always had the attitude of ‘we can work it out’.  Its great to have a ‘day in the life’ to catch up with faces old and new. 'We are the egg men.'

Solving the problem of dodgy data

In 4 weeks, MES launches v6 of its Membership Database system for Foundation Trusts.  Preparing to roll it out to our 100+ clients has inevitably got me thinking about v1, and the start of it all. 

Back in 2006 when we started spec’ing it out and development began, we were approaching the project from a very different perspective.

Our USP for the system was that we were coming at it from an electoral point of view, not a purely technical perspective.  The technicalities and functional capabilities were of course important, and needed to be better than elsewhere.  However, we were not a software house focused just on the jazzy features.
