Is your legacy association management software (AMS) causing your organization to feel stuck? If so, you’re not alone! Many associations that have leveraged the same technology for years may believe it’s their only option because it’s the software solution they’ve always known. This situation can leave many users feeling trapped.
If you wait to adopt new technology, your association will encounter additional pain points and challenges as you put off modernizing your processes. This is the ultimate cost of inaction. But if you choose to invest in a modern AMS, you’ll increase your technology ROI and future-proof your organization.
Learn how Nimble AMS empowers legacy AMS users to decrease low-value staff processes and elevate the member experience.
Three ways Nimble AMS empowers legacy AMS users
Are you ready to leave behind your legacy system? Here’s how Nimble AMS can empower your organization:
1. User-friendly reporting
In legacy AMS systems, reporting is often complicated, requiring a developer or IT team to customize and build lists, as well as create queries and reports. When associations upgrade their legacy software to the next version, many experience reports that don’t transfer and must be rebuilt to ensure functionality.
Nimble AMS has hundreds of pre-built list view queries, reports, and dashboards. You can easily build lists, queries, reports, and dashboards to meet your specific association needs, all with point-and-click configuration, and requiring no code.
Leverage Nimble Create to build information-rich-content content for personalized customer-facing reports such as invoices, statements, and more. And with Unified Reports, your staff can see both organization and individual members in one report.
“Nimble AMS reports and dashboards help us provide helpful data to our members and Montana’s legislature. Our constituents don’t have to hunt for this important information, wondering if it’s accurate. Nimble AMS reports has made MTSBA much more efficient.” said Emily Dean, Director of Advocacy, Montana School Boards Association (MTSBA).

2. Continuous product updates
Customers with legacy AMS systems experience a lack of innovation because of an inconsistent upgrade schedule. Often, customers can be on multiple versions of the same AMS, causing confusion and issues if systems need to communicate. Because platform upgrades are not scheduled consistently, when it’s time to update software, it can be quite expensive for an association and can even break a system.
Nimble AMS offers continuous innovation with seamless upgrades three times a year. All Nimble AMS customers stay on the same version, at no additional charge to the customer, helping you to leverage the latest technology for your association. When you choose Nimble AMS, you get modern technology with three annual updates, meaning no upgrades will ever risk breaking your system.
“As an Executive Director, it is huge to not have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on outside consultants just to make sure things don’t break with every upgrade. I can now spend that money on value-added things. It’s liberating. That was impossible in our old system. Things just work now. I realize that shouldn’t be shocking, but it is,” said Bruce Moe, Executive Director of the Missouri State Teachers Association (MSTA).

3. Seamless integrations
Legacy AMS users report a lack of software integration options and challenges with the application programming interface (API). Sometimes data can become scattered across different systems creating data silos, leading to inaccurate reporting, and creating more work for staff.
Nimble AMS has strong integration abilities for complex third-party systems including the Momentive Software suite of products for job board and career software, event management technology, and learning management software.
Take integration further with the Salesforce AppExchange, granting you access to over 7,000 applications for your organization. With Salesforce Clouds, your association can manage a variety of organizational processes, boosting your ROI and driving real success. If you need even more options, leverage Nimble Fuse to connect your teams and systems, keeping all running seamlessly.
