Six Online Community Vendors for Associations: An Analysis
PDF, 7MB, 49 pages, October 5, 2009
This resource features six fabulous vendors who are committed to the association community–Higher Logic, NFi Studios, The Port, The Social Collective, Socious, and SusQtech. We all shared the cost of producing this whitepaper so you can download it for free.
Description: The purpose of this paper is to help you think through the criteria for online community platforms that are important to you and your members, and then see how these six vendors meet those criteria. We have very specifically chosen NOT to put together one of those massive tables with check marks that no one outside of the IT department can actually interpret. This paper is aimed at the rest of the decision makers—those of us who are less from IT but instead from marketing, communications, government relations, PR, and membership departments, or those “many hat†wearers from small staff associations whose responsibilities cover several of these areas. It’s a great starting point, if we say so ourselves.
