Full Story

Challenge

  • CGA was looking for an efficient and cost-effective way to improve communications with swimming instructors at the pool
  • Many instructors don’t have internet connected PCs so CGA needed an alternative and as BlackBerry® smartphones are popular in South Africa due to the BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™) feature and their affordability, CGA wanted a BlackBerry smartphone-friendly solutio

Solution

  • BlackBerry® smartphones
  • BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™)
  • Facebook for BlackBerry

Benefits

  • The solution became very popular with the swimmers as well as the instructors as the CGA team can use BBM and Facebook to keep in touch with the swimmers
  • The use of the BlackBerry® solution has improved attendance at swimming events as using BBM to send the swimming schedule reduces the risk of swimmers being unexpectedly absent
  • The solution is cost-effective as it saves CGA money by not sending schedules in the post
  • Above all, the BlackBerry solution has contributed to community development as the money saved by the solution is reinvested into the area
