ASI Proudly Sponsors NiUG International & its 9th Discovery Conference
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) October 15, 2014 -- Advanced Solutions International (ASI), the largest, privately-owned global provider of not-for-profit software, today announced it is sponsoring several key initiatives of global iMIS user group NiUG International, including the organization’s recent Discovery Conference in Baltimore on September 29 - October 1, 2014. Headquartered in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, NiUG is the largest independent, international users group in the not-for-profit software industry.
The ninth annual NiUG Discovery Conference was held at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore and included more than 359 iMIS users, solution providers, consultants and vendors who participated in 54 educational sessions, training classes, exhibitor showcases, and networking events.
The highlight of the iMIS Community’s calendar, Discovery began on Monday, September 29 for 210 users who participated in pre-conference training. The full conference launched on Tuesday and was chock-full of the latest iMIS product updates and dynamic sessions on engagement, security, web management, advanced reporting/analytics, mobile options, and fundraising/major gifts.
Conference buzz centered on the availability of iMIS 20.2 later this year. The new release of the iMIS 20 Engagement Management System (EMS)™ focuses on improving the user experience and includes several “Quick-Start” responsive web design templates, enhanced dashboards and member/donor engagement metrics, expanded translation features to reach global constituencies, greater process automation, and new certification program efficiencies.
“This was one of our best conferences to date. The jam-packed agenda attracted participants from as far away as Zimbabwe and Scotland. In several of our sessions, attendees received first-hand insights from colleagues who are achieving even greater success with their iMIS systems. I’m very proud of the value the conference delivers and we’re already inspired with amazing ideas for next year.”
