Influent

Influent is rated 3 out of 5 in the category information technology and services. Read and write reviews about Influent. Influent offers a cloud-based discussion platform for international development organizations and professionals. Our platform is unique in that it lets people use their existing email account(s) to participate in structured group discussions and exchanges, as a community of interest. By using the simplest, most ubiquitous and familiar technology (email), our platform removes typical barriers to engagement. Our platform is sold white-label to let organizations promote their identity and image as conveners and leaders in their area(s) of activity. Our platform solves a huge and persistent issue: every year, international development organizations waste hundreds of millions of donor dollars in misguided attempts to engage their dispersed professional stakeholders. The traditional approach of building programme-specific collaboration websites or using generic commercial tools no longer works; by forcing busy professionals to navigate to yet another place, create new accounts, log in, familiarize, train up, etc., such platforms deeply undermine professionals'​ will to engage and contribute.
