SharePoint for Members utilizes Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server (MOSS 2007) to enable associations to build a vibrant online member community.  Members are empowered to interact with each other and the association by participating in discussion groups, wikis and blogs, joining special interest groups, and managing committee and chapter involvement.  Integration with the CRM for Members database means that activities that take place within the member community are automatically tracked and easily analyzed for quick, informed decision-making.  SharePoint for Members gives your association: 

• Collaboration and Connection: Enable members to publish documents, receive RSS feeds relevant to their interests, join social networking groups, and share information through the use of wikis and blogs.
• Association Control: Automate approval processes (for example, content posting) to ensure control and reduce staff involvement. Microsoft Platform security, single sign-on, and built-in monitoring tools ensure the right people work with the right information—with minimal IT involvement.
• Private Communities: Set up specialized sites that let members with appropriate access share relevant information for SIGs, chapters, committees, speakers, rosters, and more.
• Search: Equip both members and staff to quickly locate people, content, and business intelligence in business applications.
• Simplified IT Management: Provide a single, integrated platform to manage intranet, extranet, and Internet applications. Built-in design and content management tools sharply reduce IT effort. Hosted deployment options reduce ownership costs.
