We know that AMCs are under tremendous pressure to keep overhead down
so that fees charged to their non-profit customers are based on
value-added services and not on infrastructure needs which are harder to
justify to a price-sensitive customer base. iMIS provides AMCs with a reliable non-profit
business management system that can be scaled to fit the needs of your
representative organizations, but configured in such a way as to allow
you to average the cost of ownership over several non-profit
customers.
AMCs can put together an iMIS system that
is composed of application modules designed from the collective best
practices of thousands of non-profits. Each application is
composed of functionality vetted by iMIS'
large user base and
includes built-in mechanisms that allow AMCs to customize the
applications to fit your clients’ needs rather than forcing your
clients to fit your business software system. AMCs also benefit
from iMIS due to its flexible licensing
structure which allows management companies to only invest in the number
and type of licenses that they really need to minimize cost.
The biggest benefit to AMCs is iMIS'
software update
program. Regular upgrade releases are sent to plan participants on
a regularly scheduled basis. Upgrade releases offer new features,
enhance existing features, provide fixes for any issues found in the
software, and provide enhancements for iMIS’ operations to increase system
performance. Participating in the software update program allows
AMCs the most cost effective way to get new features at the lowest risk
and offers the quality assurance needed for their clients’ data
and operations.

The iMIS system works so well for AMCs due
to its modular application layer built on a centralized database.
With the installation of the iMIS system, the
entire database and
application modules are installed and only a license key is required for
activation of a module. This structure minimizes set-up time and
allows AMCs the ability to scale quickly and easily. License keys
denote the number of users and can be easily increased or decreased to
reflect the current needs of each non-profit’s situation.
Software updates can either be downloaded online following customer
registration, or can
arrive in hard copy in the form of a CD through the mail. The
upgrades are easily implemented through step-by-step installation
wizards and backed by award-winning customer support should problems
with installation arise.
