Washington, DC (PRWEB) August 03, 2011

Higher Logic announces the launch of the American Society of Association Executives’ (ASAE) new private social media solution, collaborate. The aptly named “collaborate” will reinforce ASAE’s overriding objective to help association professionals transform society through the combined power of community, engagement, membership and collaboration.

“The ASAE membership is comprised of the best of the best in the association industry” stated Rob Wenger, CEO of Higher Logic. “These are the decision makers and the visionaries for their respective associations and require a sophisticated platform, which will grow not only with the change of technology, but with the increased need for member engagement and mobile communications. “collaborate” includes complete integration with ASAE’s association management system and will feature M2, Higher Logic’s Mobile app."

Members will enjoy social network features including:

•     A comprehensive member profile with integrations to popular public social networks.

•     Cloud architecture for increased speed and reliability.
•     Comprehensive search results and easy access to data.

•     Functionality to quickly favorite a resource for future reference.

ASAE’s holistic approach to building a feature-rich, flexible and robust community site included extensive planning for new ways to harness the power of the community. Members will enjoy innovative ways to share and find information, connect with members, committees, volunteers and mentors and access everything ASAE from the palm of their hand.
