IOD Ireland

It’s not easy being a company director. As if it wasn’t awkward enough to monitor cashflow, manage a team and keep their business moving in the right direction, company directors also have to deal with a mountain of ever-changing legislation and guidelines.

Step forward the Institute of Directors (IoD) in Ireland; a membership organisation offering Linex Smart Alerts as a member benefit. IoD members can use this comprehensive system to search thousands of sources of legal and business information and find the information they actually need.

Diverse range of sources

One of the main strengths of Linex Smart Alerts is that it provides access to a diverse range of information sources, all in a single place. “It’s a one stop shop,” explains Thora Mackey, Business Development Manager, “instead of trawling through the internet trying to find information, our members can use Linex.”

“Once the member logs in, they can manage it their own way,” says Thora. "Setting up newsfeeds, importing extra sources of information and generating automatic email bulletins are all easy to do."

Accurate and up to date

Every source of information is checked by the Linex team, so IoD members can have complete confidence in its accuracy. Additionally, Linex Smart Alerts covers a diverse range of information sources and new articles are indexed every single day.

“It’s very useful for global information,” says Thora. “You’re not just limited to Irish legislation. If you want some information covering overseas, you can get it. There’s something in there for everyone.”

Easy to work with

“They’ve been very responsive, very helpful,” says Thora, of the level of service Linex provides. “They make things simple for us when it comes to IT.” 

“These tools are becoming more popular,” she concludes. “People are very web-based now.” And that means the IoD in Ireland needs to offer the best web tools to its members – beginning with Linex Smart Alerts.
