The strength of iMIS' financial and
relationship management
capabilities make it an ideal system for professional organizations and
societies. As an association management software system, iMIS helps
associations understand the trends, challenges and opportunities that
exist within their current membership base. With the pressures that
associations currently face to not only stop the decline of their
membership, but to somehow find ways to increase revenue and keep or
increase the mindshare of its membership, it's critical to have an
association management software system that helps them maintain
relevancy in a dynamic and fluid environment.
The iMIS system is built on the idea of
relationships and the ability
to track member interactions with your organization. Whether your member
has attended an event, purchased a subscription, submitted a paper for a
conference, made a phone call to your membership office, referred a
friend for membership, or bought a book, the iMIS system collects
information about each member and how each member is connected to other
members.
Associations reap huge rewards from iMIS'
ability to capture, store,
and easily slice and dice data to handle association business and
uncover trends in the membership base. By analyzing the membership data
and identifying the audience segments that provide the most value to an
organization in terms of revenue or time, associations are also
empowered to take the next step towards proactively planning programs,
events, product lines, and agendas around the highly loyal and active
member base, thus reinforcing the value and relevancy of their
membership investment.
With membership software built in a modular structure, you can put
together an iMIS system that handles the
business functions that you
have today, knowing that you can always add or subtract modules in the
future to meet your changing needs. With over 40 modules, the iMIS
system is a comprehensive product line that addresses all of the
standard business practices of an association, as well as providing
modules that focus on increasing the effectiveness of association
executives.
As a fully upgradeable, association management software solution,
iMIS supports the specific needs of
associations in a competitive
environment.
iMIS works so well for associations because
it was built from the
ground-up with associations in mind. Associations and their specific
business needs drove the initial concept and feature list structure for
iMIS which is why this association management
software solution is built
on the concept of a single, centralized database.
The database structure allows for a centralized method of storing
member data and tying all transactions back to specific members based on
a unique identifier given to each member. This structure, along with
built-in customizable features provides associations with the
flexibility to determine what data they want to collect on their
members. Over 40 applications that work within parameters of the
central database can then be employed to provide you with user
interfaces that allow you to collect and manage member data.
Once you have the ability to tie together any activity - event,
purchase, dues payment, phone call, leadership position - with an
individual's demographic and psychographic data, you have a full profile
of each member. With a full profile, the system can now work for you by
producing detailed reports, flagging data that is problematic, and
alerting you to changes that have occurred in the system through
built-in mechanisms that are designed to make the management of your
membership base easier and more effective.
The Texas Medical Association supports Texas physicians by providing
distinctive solutions to the challenges they encounter in the care of

with the critical business intelligence needed to better serve TMA's
customers. With iMIS, TMA staff are now able
to perform all their enterprise functions including customer
relationship management, commerce, and community-building against one
primary source of information. Read

Association
of Washington School Principals
The Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP) is the state's
preeminent professional association for public and private building
principals, assistant principals, and principal interns. With over 3,500
members from elementary, middle and high schools statewide, it was
critical for the organization to be able to effectively communicate with
their constituents and be more responsive to their needs online. Faced
with this dual challenge, AWSP realized that their website and internal
processes needed to support their membership base and afford a
streamlined, professional web user experience. With an iMIS solution AWSP has gained internal efficiencies
that allow staff to focus on other value-added activities. Read
