Associations face operational challenges creating stress for everyone, especially executives. Chief among stressors is unnecessary labor gathering and analyzing data for decisions.
re:Members’ AMS software provides comprehensive solutions eliminating siloed reporting and allowing easy accessibility to all data in one place.
What is Siloed Reporting?
Siloed reporting results from data being gathered, stored, and analyzed in individual systems, leaving each set isolated.
Example: Email teams track open rates, clicks, and campaign responses. They make informed decisions on next campaigns keeping members engaged.
Separately, outside marketing teams target prospective members using different systems without access to email team data.
If outside marketing accessed data on current member preferences, they could craft more targeted outreach. But siloed data prevents access to these insights.
The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand does, making associations worse off.
Data silos are serious business problems preventing collaboration necessary for competitiveness. This situation commonly occurs in associations building systems over time, adding incompatible technologies creating unintentional silos.
1
Efficiency and Workflow Disruption
Without easy unified data access, executives find workflows disrupted tracking down information. Gathering everything requires contacting others for reports or visiting multiple platforms.
Even then, without easy combination methods, executives must cobble together big-picture systems. This dynamic is hugely inefficient causing major disruptions.
2
Decision-Making and Strategic Planning
Without easy access to combined up-to-date reports, executives struggle making immediate decisions or strategic plans. When departments only access their own data, leaders make micro decisions not helping associations move forward holistically.
Example: Membership demographics in CRM, event registrations in another portal, merchandise through another platform, plus books, certifications, e-courses through different systems.
Year-end evaluation of products and services becomes challenging analyzing multiple sources. Unified reporting makes tasks simpler, saving time while bringing clarity.
