Michael ArgentiniMonday, April 7, 2025

Fynydd partnered with Blue Sequoyah Technologies to build a community-driven learning platform named Coursabi, which gives learners a simple but powerful way to grow as they follow their learning journey. Their dashboard shows them progress to-date and what assignments are next. They can explore the content library for elective learning, sign documents, and complete forms. And the community gives them a way to learn from peers and content authors.

Coursabi Mission Control is where authorized users can create and organize training content like documents, forms, and courses. There are also libraries for audio and video content, as well as imported learning modules. People and learning assignments are managed here. And administrators and training managers can stay up-to-date using dashboards, reports, notifications, community activity, and so much more.

  • Amazon AWS, CloudFront, S3, Okta SSO
  • SCORM/xAPI/HTML import, native Coursabi content
  • Courses, documents, audio, video, forms, events, community, and more
  • Real-time reporting and analytics suite
  • Native content builders
  • Assignments, progress tracking, notifications
  • Team and role-based security for authors, members, and content

The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) is a not-for-profit organization that develops laboratory standards worldwide. Our standards are recognized by laboratories, accreditors, and government agencies as the best way to improve medical laboratory testing.

CLSI partnered with Fynydd to create a web platform for marketing their organization, provide member and volunteer services, membership management, and a shop for their Standards documents.

The platform integrated with NetForum and other third party services to provide a single, complete access portal for staff, members, and volunteers.

The shop provided unique pricing, options, and user experiences for anonymous visitors, members, and customers in developing countries. Standards products provided digital samples and full specifications, as well as customized pricing based on the visitor.

A member portal provided everything a member needs to manage their profile, membership details, purchase history, downloadable products, event attendance, membership certification, nominations, volunteer history, and more. It also provided delegates with management tools for authorized employees in their account.

Other tools and features include public file management for volunteer communication and education, outbound links to services such as their eClipse platform and support system, a shopping cart reminder system, product import and publication tools, and so much more.

Some of the key features of the platform include:

Project: Trinity Vendor Insights

Michael Argentini Avatar
Michael ArgentiniSunday, April 1, 2018

Trinity Life Sciences has been providing large pharmaceutical companies with deep, comparative intelligence for many years and discovered that they all seemed to struggle with finding good vendors experienced with the pharmaceutical industry. Trinity wanted to help them and the smaller emerging pharmaceutical companies solve the problem.

Trinity decided to partner with Fynydd to build an online subscription service where pharmaceutical company employees could review the vendors they use, rate products and services, and see how vendors and services compare within their organization, and across the globe. Likewise, vendors needed to be able to create and manage a profile for their companies, including their products and services.

We collaborated with Trinity to define the needs of their potential subscribers, vendors, and staff. Then we worked on defining the user experience for the key users of the platform. After defining the user experience, we worked on the technical strategy. Based on the platforms and services that Trinity used internally, as well as the needs of the new platform, we decided to implement a custom ASP.NET MVC application with a SQL Server database.

We integrated Salesforce.com to keep a master copy of the data set, allowing subscribers to authenticate using that platform. Vendors authenticate directly with the system. And we built the client side with a responsive framework including SCSS and infinite scroll search results. All of this was hosted in our secure Amazon AWS environment.

Some of the key features of the platform include:

  • Provided pharmaceutical advisor customers with a way to find reliable vendors
    Subscription service (SaaS) for clients and vendors
  • Based on ASP.NET MVC hosted on Amazon Web Services
  • Microsoft SQL Server database
  • Responsive HTML5 with SCSS
  • Salesforce integration
  • Transactional email service
  • Profitable business in under 18 months
  • Driving its own budget for growth

Project: ICPA Association Membership Website

Michael Argentini Avatar
Michael ArgentiniTuesday, July 1, 2014

The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) strives to create a healthier and more balanced planet. The ICPA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance chiropractic by establishing evidence-informed practice, supporting excellence in professional skills and delivering educational resources to the public. What began as a dream from founder Dr. Larry Webster in 1986 to better train chiropractors in family care has grown into a global mission to support the health and well-being of families worldwide.

ICPA was growing and needed a new business/client management system for their global chiropractic membership and decided to partner with Fynydd. Their back office was decentralized, using tools like Microsoft Access, which made it difficult for staff to collaborate in workflows. Consequently, many of their processes were performed manually, which was a poor use of membership funding.

Organization members could not view any details about their membership, seminar registrations, subscriptions, payments, etc., which added to their growing customer service. Web forms relied on the user to supply the correct information for what they were requesting, which resulted in a lot of bad information being stored, which had to be cleaned up manually in many cases.

We started by working with ICPA to understand their business pain points. We then collaborated on defining workflows, so we knew what each type of user should experience through different funnels. We then defined the information architecture, and spent time building a complex import tool which would transform data from various sources into this new structure. It was challenging, but allowed us to import over 30,000 contacts dating back to the 1990s; about 3gb of data. It was like they hadn't missed a beat!

The platform we chose was Umbraco CMS, which would become a multi-site web host as ICPA consolidated their other online presences into the new system. Within Umbraco we built a responsive HTML5 framework that looked great on tablets and phones. Next up was Stripe integration, which was used to process payments (including automatic renewals), and which is completely PCI-compliant. And Constant Contact was integrated for their newsletter subscriptions.

In all, this business management system is much more accessible, even outside of the office and on mobile devices. Employees have much more time to focus on tasks that matter instead of mundane, repetitive tasks. And the new system easily handles membership and certification management, seminar registration, blog, product sales, help center, and more.

Some of the key features of the platform include:

  • Based on ASP.NET MVC and Umbraco CMS, hosted on Amazon Web Services
  • Full integration with Stripe for PCI-compliant payment processing
  • Integration with Constant Contact
  • Membership & certification management, seminar registration, blog, product sales, help center, and more
  • Organization management features
  • Automation for smoother operations
  • Responsive HTML5 framework
  • Transactional email service for website visitor and shop communication
  • Significant decrease in customer service calls
  • Employees are more productive
  • The system is much more accessible, even outside of the office and on mobile devices
