Your AMS was built for 2010.
Your members expect 2026.

Legacy platforms like iMIS, Fonteva, Aptify, and Nimble AMS served their era. But vendor lock-in, consultant fees, and ticket queues aren't a technology strategy — they're a tax on your team's time.

Sound familiar?

The hidden cost of “enterprise.”

$200/hr customizations

Need a field changed? A new report? A workflow tweak? File a ticket, wait 3 weeks, pay consultant rates for something your staff should control.

3-week ticket queues

Your vendor's support portal has more backlog than your association has members. Every small change requires a formal request and a wait.

Vendor lock-in

Your data lives in a proprietary system. Exporting it means contacting support. Migrating feels impossible — and that's by design.

Board report panic

Export to Excel, manually format, cross-reference three systems, apologize for data gaps. Every single quarter.

What you're really paying.

Legacy AMS pricing goes far beyond the license fee. Here's what the total cost of ownership actually looks like.
