Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The projects we have engaged eDOT solutions are many and varied and have been of differing complexity. 

They started by creating a bespoke App for members to conduct their Continuing Professional Development, which proved to be very popular. 

The next brief was to create a member search App which has been successful.

A new instinctive and intuitive student portal was developed from scratch. This investment has transformed the way students interact with IIMS and how they study. Many neat features were built in.

Most recent, eDOT has been an online On-Demand Training Portal and, although in its early days, it is set to transform the way marine surveyors learn about the profession.
