2022 has kicked off in busy fashion for IIMS on several fronts and there are a number of ongoing projects during January that have kept my colleagues and I with our heads down at our desks!


There has been a rush of new membership applications in recent weeks, so if you have recently joined and are reading this bulletin for the first time, welcome to the organisation.


Perhaps the biggest project for some time to report on is the roll out of the new IIMS student education portal for those enrolled and studying the distance learning Professional Qualifications. More than twelve months in the making with our software partner, eDot Solutions in Goa, we finally went live on 10 January. As with many new technological launches, this one was not without a few technical dramas, (despite rigorous testing), but the glitches were soon ironed out. I mention this project, (which I accept will be of limited interest to many), only because the Institute has invested a significant sum of money to make a major step change through technological innovation in how we present our distance learning material. The result is an enhanced learning experience for students. There is a longer article in this bulletin that gives more detail on this project.
