Suites, Inc. dedicated to the labor market and

the specific online communication needs of
labor unions, and can provide the opportunity
to build identity and marketshare.
Why Orchid is Right for Labor
The
following challenges face labor unions today:
- To recruit, manage and serve members as
individuals and as affiliate organizations.
As these organizations grow, meeting these
needs can become more challenging and costly
without systems in place that are easy to
apply, use and relevant to a broad range of
tasks. The movement toward online services in
this area is leaving many labor unions --
especially at the local level -- behind.
- The implementation of effective online
systems can be complicated and overwhelming in
this day of burgeoning technologies. Factor
in online capabilities that allow organizations
to conduct core business and advocacy via the
internet and the choices become mind boggling.
- A slow adoption of online technologies
due to resistence and lack of technical
ability. Let's face it. Until recently,
developing and maintaining a website has
required special skills and knowledge that many
small organizations cannot afford. In addition,
only now are a large number of people using the
web to access basic services.
Orchid for Labor meets these
challenges head on and provides solutions that
make the difference.
