We dig into the trenches and explore the real-world process of AMS selection by inviting two of our own clients who selected an AMS System in the past 90 days to share their experiences.
We’ll conduct a retrospective discussion and share what went well, and what they wished they had done differently so you can benefit from their experiences.
Key Takeaways
- Hear the real-life stories of two associations who just finished the selection process.
- How they managed and engaged their SME team and CEO to help with selection.
- Learn tips on how to handle your upcoming software selection process for an AMS or other key systems (LMS, Communities, Financial System, MSP) that you may plan to select in 2023.
- Get your questions about AMS Selection answered by those who just went through the process.
