Kom op tegen Kanker

Imagine a world in which everyone has access to the resources and support they need to fight cancer, and in which no effort is spared to prevent cancer from claiming any more lives. That's the world Kom op tegen Kanker is working towards. The NGO campaigns tirelessly for better policies on cancer, support for patients, fundraising, correct information about cancer and much more.

Step by step, we have been helping to develop Kom op tegen Kanker's digital landscape since 2013, and we have been making every effort to supply the charity with the technology and infrastructure it needs to reach its target audience and make a difference.

de1000km.be

the origins of our partnership.

A peloton of determined cyclists covering no fewer than 1000 kilometres in just four days and giving it their all to help fight cancer: that's the 1000 km bike ride for Kom op tegen Kanker.

The event became immensely popular in no time at all, and that meant a more efficient online platform was needed to manage the registration process, from the perspective of both the participants and Kom op tegen Kanker itself. Our team rolled up its sleeves and developed a secure and highly capable platform for the 1000 km bike ride — the achievement that marked the start of our partnership.

komoptegenkanker.be

informative corporate website.

We don't need to tell you that a website is a living product. Technologies and possibilities are constantly evolving, and organisations go through a process of change over the years too. This process doesn't stand still for Kom op tegen Kanker either — and that's where our team comes in to play a major role in building, maintaining and keeping komoptegenkanker.be up to date.

A corporate website is an important anchor point where all target groups need to be able to access the information they are looking for in a quick and easy way. Our team completely overhauled the original Kom op tegen Kanker website. Together with a digital strategy agency, we analyzed the needs of these target groups and drew up wireframes to create a user-friendly Drupal website. Among other things, the current version of the site includes:

15 CRM integrations via RabbitMQ, meaning registration, brochure requests and orders can all be handled smoothly
a link between the contact form and case management system of Kom op tegen Kanker, so that visitors can be put in touch with the right employees quickly
a central search index via Apache Solr to enable visitors to find the right information fast

user zone for optimal ease of use

Our latest development is an online user zone that offers access to all relevant applications from one central location. The zone can be used to update your personal details, but also to download your tax certificate, for example.

Aside from offering a solution to these needs, the transformation towards a user zone was also set in motion to facilitate the migration of several decentral logins and applications, so that participation in campaigns could be registered and monitored. This year, Plantjesweekend, the 100 km run, the 1000 km bike ride and De Col op will be fully integrated — and there's much more in the pipeline.

The secret behind this user-friendly environment is the Next.js JavaScript framework. We developed several independent apps that function seamlessly alongside one another by using a single sign on via the Auth0 identity management system. In turn, this all works neatly together with a new management tool for Kom op tegen Kanker based on APIs, and everything is linked to the organizations’ CRM system to ensure all contact data are kept up to date.

Of course, streamlining the entire process, incorporating historic data and enabling users to switch to the new tools presents certain challenges. With that in mind, we are rolling everything out in stages, so that both internal and external users get the time they need to complete the change process in the best possible circumstances.

Close up of the Alles over kanker website

allesoverkanker.be

2000 pages of information.

The renewed allesoverkanker.be is one of our latest accomplishments. The end result is a clear online platform offering no fewer than 2000 pages of information about cancer, treatments and prevention. On top of that, the website offers an overview of all upcoming activities for people with cancer and their loved ones, and lists where people can turn to if they need support from people in the same situation.

part of the team.

Over the years, our collaboration with Kom op tegen Kanker has grown into a close-knit partnership, and that genuinely elevates how we work together for everyone contributing to the various technical realizations. A lot of our colleagues have been working on the various Kom op tegen Kanker projects right from the start, meaning they know the organization like the back of their hand.

And that means our bond goes far beyond devising digital solutions alone: the team is always keen to get involved in Plantjesweekend or the 1000 km bike ride, for example.

a decennium of realizations.

Our team can look back on some fantastic memories. For some, that might be seeing that the online payment page used during the live shows is more than capable of handling the enormous volume of online traffic, while for others, it might be the sheer gratitude of the webmasters after we improved the content management system.

Every one of these achievements inspires us to keep giving it everything we've got to come up with new ideas to offer even better support to Kom op tegen Kanker in achieving its mission. We’re ready!
