Frequently Asked Questions

An online consultation platform is a website where an organisation consults with their community, employees or wider stakeholders. It involves providing information and asking for collaboration and feedback using various tools like surveys, forums and interactive maps.

Organisations typically use their platforms to consult on various projects at any one time and ask users to register their details to engage. This creates a new community of people interested and ready to engage with the organisation.

The platform is based on standard software which is tailored for every organisation and platform. Purchasing an online consultation platform means you can focus on engagement whilst we take care of the technical aspects and continual development of the software.

We understand when selecting an online engagement platform, you’re assessing several key features like security, compliance, reporting, features and functionality.

Most software is similar in these respects. However it’s vital to look at other elements such as the experience of the company in both software and engagement, speed of development of new features, responsiveness to client requests and above all the level of support and flexibility. 

At Engagement Hub, we are a team of Engagement and Communication Specialists & software developers. This unique combination allows us to see the whole picture from the community engagement happening on the ground right back to how the software can respond and record that best.  Read more about some of the unique features of Engagement Hub here or contact us for more detailed comparison data.

A stakeholder relationship management (SRM) tool is software specifically designed to effectively manage multiple stakeholders. 

Forget multiple Excel spreadsheets with duplicate and out-of-date stakeholder data. Engagement Hub’s SRM tool streamlines processes and captures all your online and offline engagement activity and your individual and grouped stakeholders all in one place. 

Through this system you can view all stakeholder activity (online and offline), see exactly how each individual stakeholder is interacting with you through their unique profile, download reports on all stakeholder engagement and create custom correspondence to individuals or segments based on their activity / engagement level. Find out more about it here. 

Yes, all Engagement Hub Subscription Licences include full access to these features.
