This was totally unexpected & much appreciated! Huge thank you to @gemma_smith21 & professor Kevin Hetherington @HetheringtonH2 for recognising the contribution @_CampusConnect_ has made toward @StaffsUni’s digital transformation & #studentcommunity building.

@robwalling Keeping spreading the good word 👌

Notice in all the start up groups I'm a member, raising funding still takes up all the oxygen. @robwalling

Loving the new UL CampusConnect promo for 2022 🥳

@DavidSpinks any thoughts on ways to promote community and encourage more to join?

[Declan Sweeney @hey_dec]

@teresa_veigh @SaveLeitrim @sarahcareyIRL That's what I meant @teresa_veigh. We are on the same page.

[Declan Sweeney @hey_dec]

@sarahcareyIRL @teresa_veigh @SaveLeitrim Bodes well for engagement with your article I'm sure

[Declan Sweeney @hey_dec]

@RonanMcHugh5 @DgonnellyHarps That's brilliant!!😂

@teresa_veigh @SaveLeitrim @sarahcareyIRL This field was planted shortly after. For 2 weeks the machines uprooted everything to make way for sitka. We have no bees or butterflies anymore and the kids loved this as covered with daisies every year. Soon it will in darkness and the man who planted doesn't live in Leitrim

Nice!

Starting up and running your own business is a huge undertaking that requires so much of your time, commitment, focus, and energy.

But having the flexibility and independence to move things around to have lunch with this little lady, makes it all worthwhile!

Tired but still buzzing after coming home first with a new PB at the Enniscrone half marathon yesterday. 😊
Thanks to everyone for the support and to the @countysligomarathon for a super event!

[Declan Sweeney @hey_dec]

Day 1 of EAIE 2021 has kicked off with an opening address by our own Mary Robinson highlighting how everyone needs to step up to the #climatecrisis including #highereducation

Looking forward to meeting colleagues at the various events throughout the day.

@robwalling I'd be interested in how you and others might think about this as bootstrapped Saas founders. Thanks @robwalling

[Declan Sweeney @hey_dec]

@robwalling As a bootstrapped start up in the Enterprise SaaS space, should we be encouraging clients to integrate with inhouse systems? or continue to build workarounds to avoid the complexity? We may have reached a point where it's unavoidable. Be interested in your thoughts!

[Declan Sweeney @hey_dec]

@robwalling It would improve our service and embed us deeper in their processes. But it's a big undertaking and not just from a technical standpoint, involves legal, IT services, Procurement etc.

[Declan Sweeney @hey_dec]

@robwalling Sorry I wasn't very clear. Our customers (universities) mostly use MS Dynamics 365 as central CRM for managing admissions. Plugging into Dynamics would mean smooth movement of data (opposed to the workaround options)

@fergusb @glenfarnekilty @LeitrimGAA @allengaels Hard to believe it's been that long. A gentleman!
