An association management system serves as a database of contact data. It is intended for use by organizations such as professional associations, chambers of commerce and industry trade organizations.
By storing constituent data in a central location, associations can streamline the handling of constituent requests and automate common processes, including:
- Subscription renewals
- Event registration
- Class sign-ups
- Publication submittals
An AMS also gives managers immediate access to the most up-to-date member data, which can help guide decision-making.
