With 16,000 members, of which 1.500 are students, KIvI is the largest association of academic engineers in the Netherlands. To continue providing its members with new and quality services KIvI has chosen to make its old site interactive, using the Pl@za platform. It also aims to give members an opportunity to update their own information over the Internet.

Members should get the feeling that they are part of a wider KIvI community to which they can make their own contributions and set up discussion platforms for hot items.

Experience on engineers
One of the reasons why KIvI opted for Teamware is because the product contains a number of pre-defined components that are easy to integrate in a homespun web solution. Not only that, but Teamware was able to provide a number of glowing references in the association market.

Previously, also the associations of engineers in Finland and Sweden have selected Teamware to implement their web solutions.

"We are highly honoured that KIvI has chosen Teamware Pl@za. We are convinced that Teamware Pl@za will offer added value to its members. Teamware has gained some valuable experience in this branch as it is not the first time an engineering association has made use of our applications. This may have strengthened KIvI's confidence in Teamware", said Ewoud Feenstra, Business Manager Teamware Group Netherlands.
