SUMMARY:Best Practices for a Software Integration: Key Considerations
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nMany associations are adopting the software ecosystem approach. Instead of using one piece of software to do everything\, they use multiple pieces of software that each do a small set of tasks very well. But all this software must be connected to get the maximum benefit from this approach. And here’s where integrations come in. Integrations are the glue that allows data to flow between systems\, and they’re a new topic for many associations. \nWicket plays right in the center of the integration space. We’ve worked with many associations across hundreds of integrations and have learned much about what works and what does not. In this session\, we’ll help you find and get the most out of the integrations you need at your association.  \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Understanding the importance of integrations and their role in your software ecosystem.\n– Key things to consider when selecting software to make sure you’ll be able to integrate.\n– How to incorporate integrations into your ecosystem and what’s required of you once they’re up and running.

SUMMARY:Choosing The Right Software For Your Business
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nAre you planning on replacing any software at your association? Are you experiencing buyer’s remorse over the software you’ve chosen? If so\, you must attend this webinar\, where we discuss the complexity of selecting a new software vendor. Working with so many vendors in the space\, we’ve developed a fool-proof plan for how to plan for the vendor selection process\, what questions to ask in the interview process and finally\, how to interpret the answers. Nothing is ever perfect\, but our approach can help increase the chances of a successful implementation. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nGain confidence in developing the plan for kicking off the search for new software.\nLearn the questions to ask a vendor and how to interpret the results.\nLearn the common pitfalls to avoid during the interview and selection process.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Digital Ecosystem: Using New Technology
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nLike most associations\, for decades ASAE has had a traditional technology\, AMS-centered stack as the core of their business systems infrastructure. Two years ago\, ASAE started to explore alternatives to the traditional model\, and now in 2022 are beginning the rollout of a new suite of tools that will transform and modernize the organization. Key to this transformation includes embracing an ecosystem approach to software: use purpose-built tools\, connected together\, focusing on the member experience.\n \nIn this session\, we’ll explore the key components of ASAE’s new technology stack including the Member Data Platform (MDP)\, Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS)\, eCommerce platform\, and other cloud-based solutions. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n\nUnderstand the core components of a digital ecosystem approach.\nLearn about the use of iPaaS technology to enable integrations and the MDP for member data management.\nSee ASAE’s solution architecture and learn why they are pursuing a non-traditional approach.\nExplore the idea of a phased approach to a digital infrastructure rollout.

SUMMARY:The Digital Ecosystem Approach: How It’s Shaping The Future For Associations
DESCRIPTION:View Recorded Webinar \nListen to the Podcast \nOur ever-evolving modern world presents many unique challenges to associations and member management. But in a world of change\, meeting and exceeding members’ expectations remains a top priority and leveraging best-in-class technology positions your association for success.  \nTo achieve member satisfaction\, associations must evolve their everyday tools by selecting software that integrates so they can leverage member data and track member engagement in real-time. When tools and technology are able to communicate and interact with one another\, it creates a digital ecosystem.  \nThe digital ecosystem approach is the way of the future – and the present. It provides freedom and flexibility to choose tools and technology that work best for your association while facilitating a centralized hub for member data. In this webinar\, Wicket Co-founder and CEO\, Jeff Horne dives into this topic in more detail and provides practical examples so you can feel confident as you begin to form your digital ecosystem.
