Paralympics Ireland is the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) for Ireland, recognised by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), and is responsible for preparing and managing the Irish team at the Paralympic Games which are held every four years in parallel with the Olympic Games.
Paralympics Ireland works to support Irish Para-Athletes in reaching their goal of representing Ireland in finals and achieving podium places at the Paralympic Games.
Paralympics Ireland has a broad range of stakeholders that they need to engage with on a regular basis. This includes Athletes, Sponsors, Volunteers and Media. With no single view of all contacts in Paralympics Ireland, inefficiencies in communication and the sharing of information were common. To help Paralympics Ireland streamline communications and provide a single view of stakeholders across the organisation, Salesforce Non Profit Cloud was identified as the best solution for the team.
BearingPoint has worked with Paralympics to help them implement and utilise a Salesforce platform that allows them to have a single view of all their athletes and supporting contacts. This enables the Paralympics Ireland team to spend less time managing communications and keeping data up to date and more time focusing on supporting athletes and the volunteers who work with them.
The Salesforce platform not only helps Paralympics Ireland overcome this initial core challenge, but also means that the power of the Salesforce platform can be further tapped into in the future to both, solve other challenges as well as allowing the team to innovate and grow the services they offer to Irish Para-Athletes.
