To be able to manage its sponsorship duties effectively, one large IT company required a number of different staff members to provide us with information.
Having successfully applied for a sponsor licence and received its login details for the sponsorship management system (SMS), the company was able to add more users to the SMS.
The registered level 1 user logged onto the system and found the SMS relatively straightforward to navigate:
'It was easy to find the relevant sections of the system and to save applications to return to at a later stage. We have already set up three users and expect to add another couple in the next few weeks.'
The level 1 users keep up to date with any changes to the points-based system by visiting the UK Border Agency website on a daily basis.
