In this year of tight budgets, it might seem like a bad time to lobby for a new AMS. Your leadership probably thinks the one you have is good enough, especially with all the other demands on your association’s limited budget. But you know better.

When moving homes, you get rid of things you no longer need. When changing your AMS, you should also take time to determine what you really need to bring or else you could find yourself drowning in an unnecessary pile of (data) boxes. In an attempt to provide a seamless member experience and aggregate all member data in one place, associations have been working with technology partners to perform system integrations through single sign-on, pushing all of their transaction data back into the AMS.
Speaker: Gareth Webb & Phil Selley, Founding Partners at Intouch Business

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.

Jason King, a board member for the condominium community Trellis Fifth Avenue in San Diego, California, recently took a vacation. While on break in Mexico, three vendor invoices arrived. For all three, he simply clicked “approve” from his smartphone. On the beach. Sound like a cool way to do business? We agree. But there’s more to it. The vendors for this homeowners association (HOA) got paid faster because they didn’t have to wait for Jason to return from vacation.
