OVERVIEW:

Association Management System (AMS) is a bespoke web application developed specifically for alumni associations and membership institutions in UK and Ireland.  AMS is unique in that it merges a social networking web site with an all-inclusive membership management system.

The web site provides rich content and interactive features for members and the general public.  The membership management system allows committee representatives and office administrators to manage all aspects relating to the day to day running of the association or professional institution.  

Some of the key features include

• membership registrations, renewals, payments and reporting;
• communication of news and information;
• event notifications and registrations.  

These are only a few of the features of the system, please read on to find out more about AMS.

With over three years experience of implementing AMS, the team at Gordian Technologies provides the expertise to help your association to work more efficiently and to deal more effectively with your membership.

KEY BENEFITS OF AMS

AMS will eliminate the overhead associated with the manual processing of data and information within your association.  With the implementation of AMS, the following benefits will be quickly realised:

• Online processing of membership registrations and subscriptions
• Event management, registration and real time payment processing
• User generated web site content and content management system
• Electronic Newsletter and SMS alert modules
• The reporting module provides the ability to automatically generate finance, membership, events and customised reports
• Integrated eCommerce credit card processing engine
• Advertising module for generation of a new ongoing revenue stream
• Multi-user access to the administration section of the system.  Committee members and committee representatives can independently manage their areas of responsibility within the web application. 
• The system is available over the web at any time from any location
• No technical skills are required to implement or maintain the system
• One consolidated database of membership information and contact details eliminates the problems associated with multiple sources of member data held in multiple formats
• Members can update and manage their own contact details and personal information through the secure web site
• The software is fully customisable to meet the specific needs of your association

With the implementation of AMS, your association will automatically become a member of the AMS software community.  This means that as other AMS community members add enhancements to the system, you will also realise the benefits of this new functionality through the shared software platform. 

AMS resolves all the typical issues associated with running an Association or Institution.  Some of these frustrations include:

• Manual processing of information by committee members: event registrations, membership applications, cheque and cash payments, update of member information;
• Reliance upon key individuals: web designer for update of content, office administrator for member contact details, database administrator for maintenance of database, IT representative for system issues and support;
• Disjointed communication channels for members and no facility for members to interact with each other or with the Association online.
