THE OHIO SOCIETY OF CPAs CHOOSES APTIFY’S ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Ohio Society of CPAs (OSCPA), one of the nation’s largest statewide professional associations representing certified public accountants, has selected Aptify’s Association Management System (AMS).
OSCPA began looking for a new system in January, 2008. Chief Operating Officer Laura Hay says, “After careful evaluation, we selected the supplier that demonstrated the best alignment of goals and business philosophy with our own. We were seeking a long-term partner for the future with a solid technology foundation, depth of staff and professional support. We found that with Aptify.”
A key deciding factor for OSCPA was risk management regarding the security of membership data, including PCI compliance. The Board members view data integrity and security as a core responsibility of the association and recognize that business intelligence, data transparency and website integration drive member satisfaction and value.
Hay says, “The Aptify AMS solution is an integral part of OSCPA’s commitment to provide its 23,000 members with superior products and services. With Aptify, we will be better able to tailor educational programs and products directly to the individual needs of CPAs. That’s critical in today’s environment.”
Aptify demonstrated a job costing application that made it unique among AMS providers. This capability provides workflow for managing event and other product cost capabilities and also seamlessly integrates with the A/P system of choice. Utilizing this functionality, OSCPA will gain enhanced workflow and efficiency, while simultaneously improving customer service.
OSCPA was also impressed with Aptify’s Application Lifecycle Platform, the foundation for all Aptify business applications. Aptify’s platform makes it possible for organizations to easily configure the applications to meet unique needs as well as integrate with third party products. Another critical reason Aptify was selected was the company’s unparalleled commitment to upgradability and the corresponding track record in the community for providing technology to manage complex upgrade processes. Furthermore, OSCPA values Aptify’s continuing and growing investments in improved product capabilities for the Aptify User Community.
“The association community openly shares best practices and best-of-breed applications,” says Hay. “We look forward to contributing our insights as we go live with the Aptify solution, and learning from other users.”
Aptify’s CEO Amith Nagarajan says “The Ohio Society of CPAs is an organization that has effectively leveraged technology to maximize the quality of their member experience. It is our pleasure to partner with them to help take their vision to the next level. We look forward to working actively with The Ohio Society of CPAs and integrating this new partnership with the many other accounting specialist organizations already part of the Aptify Community.”
