We’re living through a pivotal moment for associations.
Members are turning to their associations for guidance and support. And for many associations, this brings the opportunity to evolve, expand services to members, and lead their industry at an even higher level.
That’s why now is the time to take a fresh look at how your iMIS ecosystem supports member engagement, learning, and recognition.
iMIS is not just your AMS. It underlies every aspect of running your association. And when you pair it with tightly integrated tools like Clowder, TopClass, and OpenWater – which are all now owned by ASI and fully integrated with iMIS – your association becomes more responsive, more efficient, and even more valuable to the people it serves.
At ISG, we help associations get the most out of iMIS through fully leveraging these products as well as best-in-class add-on products.
In the months ahead, we’ll be diving deep into each of these flywheel solutions, starting with a series of blog posts and webinars focused on the business value of each platform.
What This Series Is All About
Each of the products we’re highlighting serves a different function. But they all have something in common: they extend the power of iMIS by sharing data seamlessly and strengthening your ability to deliver a better member experience at scale.
Here’s what to expect:
- September: Clowder
- We’ll explore how a mobile engagement app can cut through inbox clutter, deliver real-time value to members, and become a powerful hub for year-round communication, event access, chapter networking, and advocacy.
- Webinar: How to Launch a Mobile App That Members Actually Use Year-Round
- October: TopClass LMS
- We’ll look at how associations are using learning platforms to deliver certification, CE, and personalized learning paths, and how deep integration with iMIS makes it easy to manage.
- Webinar: Turning Learning into a Membership Driver
- November–December: OpenWater
- From awards to abstracts, scholarships to grants, we’ll show how OpenWater streamlines complex application and review processes while giving staff better oversight and applicants a more modern experience.
- Webinar: Managing Applications with Confidence (and Less Chaos)
Why Now
We’re hearing it every day: members are overwhelmed, inboxes are saturated, and traditional engagement tactics aren’t working like they used to.
At the same time, associations are facing increased demand for personalized experiences, digital content, streamlined services, and easier access to benefits.
This is the moment to rethink how your systems support your mission.
When your engagement platform, learning system, and application tools are designed to work tightly with iMIS, you gain visibility into the full member journey.
You reduce manual work. You personalize communication. And you make it easier to deliver the kinds of experiences that drive retention, renewals, and revenue.
Join Us for the Series
Whether you’re already using one of these tools or just starting to explore your options, we invite you to follow along. Each month we’ll share insights, use cases, and real-world examples of how Clowder, TopClass, and OpenWater are helping associations like yours deliver more, without overloading staff or sacrificing quality.
We hope you’ll join us for the webinars. Bring your questions, your challenges, and your wishlist. We’re here to help you build a stronger, more connected, and more capable iMIS ecosystem.
