Application Vendors Should Focus on Business Functionality

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the difficulties many organizations face when they attempt to strike a balance between keeping up to date on Microsoft technologies and optimizing their internal operations. Many businesses and member based organizations are turning to packaged software products rather than taking responsibility for building business applications from the ground up.

This concept has important implications for member based organizations as well. (more)

Amith 161 days, 12 hours, 3 minutes ago

Although the pace of software releases from Microsoft has slowed somewhat in recent years, it is still difficult for many organizations to keep up with the various service packs and new product versions that appear on a regular basis. Even organizations that do not develop software in-house must deal with periodic upgrades for operating systems, database server platforms, and the Office suite. An organization that has taken charge of developing software in-house must also bear the burden of testing and modi... (more)

Using LinkedIn Groups for Member Outreach

The global economic recession has taken a significant toll on professionals in nearly every sector of the economy. With unemployment rising consistently and individuals feeling less secure in their jobs, it is no surprise that social networks catering to professionals have experienced rapid growth over the last two years. LinkedIn is one of the most successful professional networking platforms and has experienced rapid growth over the past two years with registered members rising from 8 million at the e... (more)

Consider Twitter for Member Outreach (Aptify CEO Blog)

While nearly all association executives are at least somewhat familiar with Twitter, most associations have yet to embrace this emerging social networking platform as a means of outreach to the constituencies they serve. In many cases, the perception of Twitter is that it is a tool used by teenagers and young adults to transmit messages regarding social plans or to gossip on various topics. While in some cases, these perceptions are accurate, Twitter already has proven to be a smart social networking plat... (more)
