Membership Software for your Professional Association

Many Memberships, Associations and Charities have data in various databases, mailing lists and spreadsheets. Many organisations have also invested in membership software databases that have not evolved over the years, resulting in data that is often duplicated and different departments throughout the organisation to not have access to accurate data.

The solution to having information in multiple data silos is to choose a comprehensive and flexible membership software solution like Microsoft CRM for Memberships by Pythagoras. A dedicated membership software database is the key factor in the ongoing success of your association because it pulls all of your membership data into one place giving you a 360 view of your members, donors, prospects and stakeholders.

- Improved decision making across the whole company and each department
