VeryConnect: An iMIS Alternative Designed to Make Membership Management Simpler

Author

iMIS is an engagement management system developed by Advanced Solutions International (ASI) for associations, membership organisations, unions and nonprofits. Its platform includes membership management, CRM, fundraising, accounting, member portals, automation, reporting and website functionality, with APIs and a marketplace of integrations and applications that can be used to extend the system (iMIS).

If you’re weighing up your options, here’s how VeryConnect approaches more detailed membership requirements. Our specialist membership management platform brings together CRM, events, communications, payments, member portals, websites and engagement insight, with a team that works with you to understand your processes and translate them into a platform that is straightforward for staff and members to use.

VeryConnect can accommodate detailed membership structures and specific workflows without requiring your team to become membership software specialists themselves. From initial scoping and data migration through to configuration, training and ongoing development, our team remains involved throughout.

What VeryConnect offers

Turning detailed requirements into a manageable platform

Membership organisations can have highly specific ways of working. You may manage individual and organisational memberships, multiple categories and tiers, committees, regional groups, corporate relationships, applications and approvals, CPD requirements, different payment arrangements and detailed reporting processes.

VeryConnect starts by understanding these requirements before configuration begins. Rather than expecting your team to translate everything into software settings themselves, we work with you to understand the processes behind them and shape the platform accordingly.

The result is a system designed around how your organisation operates, while remaining straightforward for staff to use day to day.

Configuration without needing an internal technical team

A powerful membership platform should not mean your organisation needs its own team of system specialists to manage it.

VeryConnect supports your organisation through data migration, configuration, integrations, testing, training and launch. The platform can also be adapted to your own terminology and organisational structure, whether you work with members, organisations, fellows, students, partners, chapters or another type of relationship.

Where requirements extend beyond standard configuration, VeryConnect has an in-house development team that can support more specific functionality and integrations.

Connected data across your membership operation

VeryConnect brings together the different activities that make up the member journey.

Member records, renewals, payments, event activity, communications, applications and portal engagement can be connected within the same platform. This gives teams a clearer view of each member or organisation without having to manually bring information together from different areas.

Engagement tracking also helps teams understand how members are interacting with the organisation and identify where engagement may be declining before a membership lapses.

Support from a team that understands your setup

Your platform requirements are likely to continue developing after launch. Membership structures can change, new services are introduced, integrations evolve and teams need new ways to report on their data.

VeryConnect provides a named contact and ongoing support from a team specialising in membership organisations. Because the team has been involved in understanding and configuring your setup, support is grounded in how your organisation actually works.

Configuration changes and further development can also be supported as your requirements evolve.

Core features

How VeryConnect makes complex membership structures simple to manage

“VeryConnect has developed a custom solution for our industry association that completely covers our needs in the areas of membership management, member communications, and data management for our industry outreach.

Organising our data and increasing its quality first felt like an impossible task but the amazing support we’ve received from the VeryConnect’s team made it possible. The result is a highly versatile, user-friendly, comprehensive browser-based application that our members and our entire team are already benefitting from. In the beginning, we had very specific requirements (a 25-page concept note!) and a very complex data structure.

VeryConnect not only managed to perceive all these requirements, they also delivered 100% on the promise to accommodate them.”
