ALEXANDRIA, Va., (January 24, 2011) — Advanced
Solutions International (ASI), the developer of iMIS software for member and donor-based
non-profits, today announced a partnership with DubMeNow, Inc. to
deliver customizable mobile applications for iMIS customers. This will allow members and donors

devices.
Built using DubMeNow’s Powered by DUB platform and tools, these
customizable mobile applications will initially support Apple’s iPhone,
iPad and iPod touch, Research in Motion’s BlackBerry and Google’s
Android platforms. These native applications may be downloaded
wirelessly from these vendors’ respective application stores. The
current Mobile Membership for iMIS release
includes six member-focused application modules including: Profile with
my phone numbers, website URLs and physical, email and social media
addresses, Directory for quick access to other members and staff, News
about the organization and industry, Events to view events and session
calendars and register, Important Numbers for organizational contacts,
and Info for background about the organization and navigation help.
Through development partners signed up through ASI’s iXtend Program, new
social networking features are planned for Member Discussions, Messages,
and Contacts; while additional staff-focused features are planned for
Dues, Donations, Commerce, Financial Reporting and History.
The Texas Medical Association, an organization of over 45,000
physicians, was the first ASI customer to use the integrated iMIS-DubMeNow platform and applications. Alan
Atwood, Director of Technical Information Systems at Texas Medical says,
“Texas Medical has been working with DubMeNow to create and distribute
an iMIS-based mobile membership application
for the iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry platforms. DubMeNow has shown
they are thoroughly knowledgeable in mobile application development and
has easily adapted their background with higher education institutions
to our membership-based association. DubMeNow has assisted us in all
aspects of the project from design and development to marketing and
distribution. We are extremely pleased with what we have created
together."
"Not-for-profits have already widely adopted smartphones as part of
their daily routine; now they will be able to engage with their
constituents anytime, anywhere on the leading mobile devices," said Bob
Alves, Chairman and CEO, ASI. "DubMeNow offered an innovative contact
platform and a out-of-the box integration with iMIS, and was the best mobile platform product we
evaluated."
"We're excited to be working with ASI and the nearly 3,000 iMIS customers on their mobile products," added
Manoj Ramnani, founder and CEO, DubMeNow. "We're approaching a massive
inflection point in mobile computing worldwide and not-for-profit
