Before you go live with your brand new AMS, you should take some time to plan ahead and focus on those essentials that can ensure the success of your AMS deployment project. Let’s take a look at seven steps that are critical to the success of your AMS go-live. 

For decades, artificial intelligence has captured the imagination of top tech minds, and it disrupted traditional methods of doing things across industries. Recently, AI made its debut in the field of association management and is helping member organizations create more personalized experiences.

AI (artificial intelligence) assists virtually every industry from manufacturing to automotive to associations. Meet your membership initiatives in a meaningful manner by incorporating AI into your association.

How will your AMS improve membership engagement and organizational management? 

How a dedicated AMS (association management solution) can help drive membership engagement / analytics, service customization, and collaboration.

To help your association make the decision to switch their AMS platform, there are three important questions you should. 

The most successful association management solutions (AMS) leaders use different benchmarks and scores to determine the potential value of every new member that comes their way. Known as member scoring, this process has since become a staple of nearly every association that wants to improve member engagement.

Your current AMS application can eventually outlive its usefulness, effectiveness and begin to impede your association’s ability to be successful. At that point, your association should begin to assess how to upgrade the current system.

If your association is experiencing one of the following roadblocks to membership success, it may be a sign that it’s time to replace your existing membership management software. 

Novice membership managers tend to gauge success by looking at overall member participation levels. While this does provide some insight, it's rarely the best method. Instead, it's much more helpful to measure the actual engagement of your membership base. Having an AMS that allows you to capture and report on these metrics is invaluable, so choose an AMS that includes this functionality.

If you’re using a dated, on-premises AMS application then your organization will be missing out on a huge range of opportunities to recruit and retain members as well as maximize revenue opportunities. If your current AMS implementation shows any of the following signs, then it’s definitely time for a change.  Read more for Sign #4 your association needs a new AMS.
