iMIS 15

2008-02-04T14:50:00.000-06:00

Brilliant design is most often in the hands of the users themselves. ASI listened to what you told them, and built a system based on the feedback and input of thousands of non-profit executives and non-profit professionals that have used a variety of relationship management systems throughout their careers.

ASI devised a system that allows organizations to manage their customer relationships across all functional areas, by building feature-rich applications that allow you to create, organize, and manage all the various data that is associated with each of your constituents. Taking data management one step further, our applications also let you create, organize and manage all of the services and offerings that you provide to each constituent. In short, you can create your ideal application yourself and make it do what you need it to so that it fits your rules rather than you fitting into its rules.

While iMIS 15 applications include traditional modules such as events management, membership management, and order processing, we've also designed modules to improve your organization's efficiency and efficacy so that we can meet and support your growing demands. Our customers have told us that it is no longer sufficient to just provide good programming, education and representation - factors such as speed to market and agility now play into whether a non-profit organization is considered successful. We know that relevancy is the key measure of value for today's non-profit organization. If you cannot gain and keep mindshare of your constituents, your risk of relevancy and longevity dramatically decrease. We took this to heart, and built iMIS 15 around the idea that a special relationship exists between the non-profit organization and the individual constituent. This relationship must be nurtured and managed in a way that fits the organization's business requirements, but still meets the preferences of the constituent. We set out to build a system that would reduce the total cost of ownership of the organization while maximizing the value of the relationship between the individual and the organization's purpose.

Who Uses iMIS

2008-02-04T14:43:00.000-06:00

Who uses iMIS?

For more than 15 years, InterDyn Business Microvar has been serving the non-profit sector. We've seen our community of users grow throughout the years into a thriving user base.

Our users represent many types of organizations within the non-profit sector and many different roles within an organization. They are also a highly motivated group of users - pro-active in providing education and support for each other through the independent not-for-profit organization users group called NiUG.

We are very excited about the continued growth and diversity of the iMIS user base. As iMIS continues to evolve, so does our user base. In fact, with the introduction of iMIS 15, we believe the definition of an iMIS user has broadened to include any constituent with a relationship to one of our customers. By leveraging the self-management capabilites that iMIS provides, everyone who touches a customer's organization is a user of iMIS.

Our focus and committment to the needs of the non-profit sector means that our customers and their constituents are at the core of everything we do - and we look foward to the future of the iMIS community and watching it grow even larger.
