The Professional Association Challenge

Your AMS Should Understand Professional Development, Not Just Databases

Most membership platforms don't understand continuing education requirements or professional development tracking. You're forced to use separate systems or track CE credits manually in spreadsheets.

Manual CE/CLE Credit Tracking

Spreadsheets, paper forms, and disconnected systems make compliance reporting difficult

Disconnected Event & Education Systems

Conference registrations, webinars, and professional development courses in separate platforms

Per-Contact Pricing Concerns

Software costs increase unpredictably as membership grows, making budgeting difficult

Common Questions

Professional Association FAQs

Yes. Our platform includes continuing education credit tracking for CE, CLE, CPE, and other professional development requirements. You can automatically assign credits when members register for your events or courses, track credit history in member activity records, and provide members with self-service access to view their earned credits and transcripts 24/7.

Comprehensive tracking: We can import CE records from external sources into member profiles to consolidate all continuing education data in one place. This includes initial migration when you switch to i4a, plus periodic updates as needed. Import is performed by our team to ensure data integrity and is billed at our hourly support rate.

Yes. Our event management system is designed for multi-session professional conferences. Members can select specific sessions, print itineraries of registered events, and automatically receive CE credits for attended sessions. You can handle multi-tier registration (member, non-member, student rates) and process payments.

Our directory builder lets you create searchable member directories with custom filters for specializations, practice areas, geographic location, years of experience, industry focus, or any custom attributes you define. Create public directories (for referrals) or member-only directories (for networking). Members can search and filter to find professionals based on criteria that matter to your profession, adding significant value to membership.

No. We offer flat-rate pricing regardless of how many members you have. Whether you have 1,000 members or 50,000+ members, you pay the same price. Your software costs won't increase as your membership grows.

Most professional associations are live within 60-90 days from contract signing. Within one business day of signing up, you'll receive access to a development site and a detailed step-by-step onboarding checklist to work with.

You'll have a dedicated implementation specialist who works with you through each step of the process and ensures your team is comfortable before launch. Unlike DIY platforms that leave you to figure it out alone, we provide hands-on support and guidance throughout the process.

Your member data is protected by enterprise-grade security infrastructure. Our network uses dual active/passive firewalls with automatic failover, database servers that are completely isolated from internet access, and encrypted passwords at rest. We don't store payment information in your database—all transactions are processed through PCI DSS Level 1 compliant payment gateways.

Physical security: Tier-1 colocation facility with biometric access controls, 24/7 surveillance, and bulletproof glass security checkpoints. Our infrastructure has complete physical redundancy—dual firewalls, switches, power sources, and ISPs—with solid-state drives monitored remotely.

Data protection: Database backups every 4 hours, uploaded files backed up daily. Unlike networks with employee workstations vulnerable to phishing and malware, our network has no workstations—eliminating the most common security vulnerabilities. All servers run continuously updated open-source software (Apache, Ubuntu Linux, MariaDB) with firewall rules allowing only necessary protocols.
