Institute of Cancer Research intranet win
30th July, 2007
The Institute of Cancer Research has appointed independent eCRM and web specialist Underwired to create its new intranet, which will span all of the organisation’s operating groups, including scientists, researchers and policymakers. The project includes functional specification, information architecture, usability and interface design. The agency has also cemented its eight year relationship with The Institute by being selected for its first digital roster.
Underwired started working with The Institute in 1999, designing its website and scientific extranet. In 2005, after the site had been live for five years, Underwired won the task of re-planning and redesigning the 5,000-page website working with fifteen internal and external stakeholder groups to design a site that serves all The Institute's national and international audiences, and managing the procurement of the site's content management system. The current website can be seen at www.icr.ac.uk.
Ranji Thangiah, The Institute's Intranet Project Manager commented: "I am delighted that we are continuing our creative partnership with Underwired. With Underwired leading the design process I am sure we can deliver a world class intranet that demonstrates cutting edge design and functionality that will truly meet the needs of our staff."
In addition to this latest project win, Underwired has added Virgin Megastores, Peugeot, Nickelodeon, JP Morgan and Oystercard to its client list in the last year.
