Nimble AMS is an association member management software for larger entities, with member portal, order processing and event registration, and other features.
iMIS is great for membership associations who need one place. I love their contact database, I just wish we could pull reports easily from their system and publishing would not freeze when making changes to our website. Everything that does work correctly is really easy to set up.
It seems Events/Products/Exhibitors and Programs seem to work fairly well in this system. They are very functional out of the box and I appreciate the ability to customize without having to do it with code. I'd like to see more attention focused on Donation functionality, i.e. pairing a donation with a merchandise purchase, ability to match a guest donation with a current person account, ability to have multiple entities and use recurring donations. I'd also be interested in seeing the Community Hub Management tool be expanded to allow for more flexibility and customization of pages and their underlying fields and data sources.
I wasn't involved with the selection process, but for anything that I have experience with that is specifically for associations, iMIS Engagement Management System stacks up pretty well. It doesn't compare well to the others like a Salesforce or Marketo, but it's not really meant to. Many times those products are out of the price range for associations.
Nimble AMS was much further developed while other groups were just beginning. Their continued growth and moving forward over the years have lent them a degree of expertise I have not yet seen in comparable groups.
We measure ROI in terms of changed lives, not revenue since we are a church and a non-profit organization. As our church has grown, we have been better equipped to identify new visitors, follow-up on the physical and spiritual needs of our membership and give away leadership to our members.
It's made a significant impact on the way we approach strategic decisions due to the data we're able to collect and analyze.
It's allowing us to automate processes that we never thought of automating in the past, freeing up staff resources to focus on other tasks
Our initial implementation was a bit messy, but working with the Nimble AMS team to analyze and rethink our strategy with a clearer vision has been very positive
