Are You Ready for the Revolution?

There is a revolutionary new approach to association management that capitalizes on the extraordinary capabilities of the Internet.

Avectra harnesses that revolutionary power for every constituent of membership-based organizations by completely addressing the needs of members, staff, prospects, suppliers, and partners. Imagine making one choice in association management, Internet functionality, and operating environments.

Avectra offers entirely Web-based solutions, Web tools to update existing solutions, and operating options such as ASP (application service provider) and hosting that allow organizations to easily acclimate to todays rapidly advancing technology climate. We are committed in our determination to provide membership organizations with highly functional solutions that take advantage of the extraordinary versatility and sophistication of the Internet, while remaining positioned for the future.

Avectra FORUM

Avectra FORUM is the first truly browser-based solution for managing associations and nonprofits. Now traditional association management functions, e-commerce, and on-line communities can be accessed through the Internet. The only operating requirement is an Internet browser.

FORUM is a portal that welcomes staff, members, and prospects to the association and personalizes the information available to each visitor. Staff members have access to all of the functions of the association that they need to do their job. Membership dues, meeting registrations, sales orders, committee management and more are accessed through the Internet. Views are personalized for each person and real-time reports that are built into the views give quick glimpses of everything from daily financial summaries to upcoming events.

Members access the association through the same portal but are shown different options, such as online registration, online purchasing, chatting with other members, and additional features the association chooses to offer. The online, or virtual, community function adds value to association membership by providing a forum for member-to-member networking. This functionality is provided through Pl@za by Teamware, the premier virtual community tool that has been integrated with FORUM to provide unparalleled functionality. Prospects encounter similar features that allow them to interact at whatever level the organization chooses--from e-commerce to becoming a member.

Avectra FORUM gives associations incredible functionality and, at the same time, Avectra allows for elimination of all of the headaches of network management, hardware maintenance, and system upkeep required by other solutions. Avectra has chosen partnerships with companies such as Teamware Group (a Fujitsu subsidiary), digitalNation, and Emergent Online to provide cutting-edge operating environment solutions.

Avectra ASP

Avectra's ASP options allow associations to do what they do best--provide top-notch membership service--and still avoid the cost of hardware and the expense of a trained information technology staff. Avectra can house customer applications on a remote server and conduct all maintenance and upkeep on both data and hardware. Through ASP options associations can also avoid the sometimes prohibitive up-front expenditures associated with new systems.

Research and development of tier-one solutions is the passion of Avectra. Solutions like TASMIN, an incredibly functional LAN solution for smaller associations, fully interfaces with our stand-alone Internet components to give every membership-based organization an opportunity to operate in a Web-based world. Member-to-member(M2M) and business-to-business(B2B) opportunities create additional value and additional revenue streams for associations. Other functionality like Wireless Access Protocol (WAP), in which customers can access all of their systems functions through a cell phone, offers the latest and greatest technologies available.

Avectra's international staff of more than 130 professionals is ready to offer the best in account representation, implementation, project management, design, and support. Client services include a well-trained and well-staffed customer support division, news and information updates, an on-line discussion group, and an active user's group. Offices are located in Falls Church, Virginia; Chicago; San Francisco; and Melbourne, Australia.
