Challenges
NSS IITR, a social service organization and student body, faced several challenges in issuing certificates for their competitions. They needed a cost-effective credential platform, as issuing E-certificates was complex and time-consuming, especially for large events with over 1000 participants. Manual verification of names, designations, and affiliations added to the complexity. Some cases also involved challenges related to names, genders, and designations. Additionally, NSS IITR struggled with sending certificates online to all participants. They sought a cost-effective credential platform to streamline their processes and alleviate manual verification burdens.
The challenges that NSS IITR encountered can be summarized as follows:
Cost-Effective Solution: NSS IITR found that existing credential platforms were prohibitively expensive for their budget constraints. They needed an affordable solution that wouldn’t strain their resources, allowing them to allocate more funds toward their core social service initiatives.
Complex Credential Issuance: The organization had to issue over 1000 certificates for 15 different competitions held during their events. These certificates were intended for various groups, including winners, participants, volunteers, speakers, and core committee members. Managing such a multitude of certificates manually was a monumental task. Verifying the accuracy of names, designations, and affiliations for each recipient added significant complexity to the process.
Data Accuracy: Some cases presented difficulties related to names, genders, and designations. These discrepancies further exacerbated the intricacy of the credential issuance process, leading to potential errors and inefficiencies.
Online Certificate Delivery: Despite organizing numerous competitions and events, NSS IITR faced persistent difficulties in efficiently sending certificates to recipients online. This aspect of their operations required modernization and optimization.
