The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) has undertaken a significant technological transformation to improve its web services, primarily through the integration of Elasticsearch, which is used for both data storage and search capabilities. This initiative aimed to consolidate various standalone websites and databases into a unified platform, enhancing search accuracy and user engagement across SCVO's services, including Goodmoves and Volunteer Scotland Search. By leveraging Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, SCVO has effectively streamlined its development processes, allowing the team to focus on user experience and search query improvements rather than backend maintenance. This approach has resulted in increased site search usage and user satisfaction, highlighted by feedback praising new features like the Similar Jobs tab. Future plans include utilizing the join datatype to enhance data indexing efficiency and conducting a thorough test of their Disaster Recovery process to ensure robust system resilience. Calum MacÙisdean, SCVO's Web Development & Design Manager, has been instrumental in this digital transformation, drawing on his background in human-computer interaction and previous experience in tech startups and digital publishing.
