More than 1,400 Associations Receive Automatic Update to Their Critical Business Software
McLean, VA (SaaS Newswire) December 9, 2010
Avectra, the industry innovator for association management software (AMS), has announced the fourth significant release of netFORUM Team and netFORUM Pro for 2010. The upgraded software delivers more than 100 new features and product enhancements that improve data collection capabilities and make it easier for association staff to leverage the software to meet them operational and membership goals.
“Imagine an AMS so useable, you’ll actually use it. This simple premise drives our product development strategy. Our releases are truly customer-driven innovation—over 1,400 customers sharing daily best practices to help drive an improved member experience and staff efficiency,” said Patrick Dorsey, vice president of marketing for Avectra. “Unlike others, we encourage our customers to share their feedback and user experience. Avectra’s commitment to product development and customer success continues to raise the bar in the membership management software market.”
The release has been made available automatically and at no cost to Avectra’s more than 1,400 Team and Pro customers. Enhancements to the company’s 100% web-based membership management software include:
- Integrated Support – An integrated announcement tool keeps users informed about product developments and issues without checking email or leaving the system. Users also have direct access to Avectra’s Online User Group from within the netFORUM software.
- Configurable User Settings – Administrators can configure access to critical functionality including the ability to show or hide features such as email templates and access to mailing lists, thus making netFORUM more flexible for all users.
- Improved Data Collection – Additional demographic fields and improved processes for registering association website visitors help associations capture targeted data about association members and customers.
- Accounting Enhancements – New cancellation fee and payment profile updates make it easier to reconcile bank transactions–reducing manual processes and saving time and money.
Avectra has also enhanced the speed and processing power of the netFORUM on demand association software with additional upgraded, industry leading 64-bit servers. netFORUM Team and Pro run on Microsoft’s .NET Framework 4.0, 64-bit SQL 2008 databases, 2008 SQL Reporting Services with Dundas software for enhanced graphical reporting and back-end servers running on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition.
“Avectra’s industry leading investments continue to deliver high performance for our clients who rely on us to provide their most critical tools,” said Dorsey. “It is part of our commitment to help our customers solve their problems by offering peace of mind about their systems. This means that they can focus on their members and revenue generating programs instead of the headaches of back-end technology.”
Avectra is participating in the 2010 ASAE Technology Conference on December 14 and 15 in Washington, D.C. Visit booth #215 for information regarding netFORUM and Avectra.
