UFCW: A Membership System Off the Mainframe, on DNN and AngularJS
Project overview: membership off the mainframe
The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union represents workers in grocery, retail, pharmacies, food processing, and manufacturing. We built a custom membership system on DNN and AngularJS to replace their mainframe membership system.
About UFCW
The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) represents people who work in grocery stores, retail, pharmacies, food processing, and manufacturing. Members need a way to find their local. The union needs a membership record that is not locked inside a mainframe.
Off the mainframe
UFCW wanted to migrate its membership management system, the MRM, off an antiquated mainframe. They came to Maxiom for that migration. We built a custom MRM with current client-side and server-side technology: AngularJS in the browser and DNN, formerly DotNetNuke, as the content and application platform.
DNN Evoq supplied the CMS, the modules, and the skin. AngularJS supplied the interactive interface on top of those modules. UX design shaped the flows members and staff actually see.
What the new system includes
- The membership record. A custom MRM, so staff are working in an application built for the union, not a mainframe screen.
- A local locator. Members and the public can find a local union from the site.
- Political action. A section of the site for the union's political and corporate work, in the same design as the rest of the membership experience.
- The skin and the modules. DNN skinning for the look of the site, and custom modules for behavior DNN does not ship with.
Replacing a system members still depend on
