] with an applications platform for their unique HR and Recruiting initiatives. Check out the interview below with
Electronic Media Developer Ted Barnett to learn more about how AIM is using Rollbase to unite all of its global offices onto one personnel system.
Rollbase: What kind of organization is Africa Inland Mission?
Ted: Africa Inland Mission (AIM) is an international evangelical Christian mission agency dedicated to the establishment of maturing churches among the peoples of Africa. AIM has over 950 active members ministering in Africa, the islands of the Indian Ocean, and to Africans living around the world.
We are engaged in a wide range of ministries including evangelism and church planting, leadership development, youth ministry, medical ministry, community development and community health, aviation, and support service ministries.
Rollbase: What kind of applications are you building using Rollbase?
Ted: Africa Inland Mission (AIM) is using Rollbase to build a Global Recruitment and HR system to match candidates to the needs in Africa, track data and trends about our members, and unite all of our global offices onto one personnel system.
Rollbase: What kind of applications were you using before Rollbase?
Ted: Before Rollbase all of our offices built their own tracking systems from simple excel spreadsheets to Microsoft Access Databases. We used email as our only means of global interactivity.
Rollbase: What problems did you face that caused you to look for a platform like Rollbase? Did Rollbase solve these problems?
Ted: None of AIM's previous HR solutions integrated with one another, therefore forcing us to use email as the only form of global interactivity. As we have grown we found that this method of working further frustrated our goals of communicating effectively in the recruitment and tracking of our members. Rollbase has now put all of our AIM office on the same page and allowed us to interact with data about members in real time. Rollbase's simple application builder allow each office to also expand the system for their needs without having to learn complicated programming languages. AIM now has a flexible and interactive solution to meet our complex global work environment.
Rollbase: What are your favorite Rollbase features?
Ted: We love the Ajax lookup fields, Workflow Events, Conversion Maps for importing our existing data, User Portals, Document templates and much more.
The Organizational Management application does a great job at keeping our departments and roles organized throughout the system.
Rollbase: What features would you like to see Rollbase add to it's platform?
Ted: We would enjoy greater ability to customize forms and color schemas of Rollbase to match our company's identity. LDAP Authentication. Use of our own domain names. More Ajax and less page refreshes and popup windows.
Rollbase: Would you recommend Rollbase to a friend or colleague in your own personal network?
Ted: YES!
