“I think our members are really happy. They’re just happy that they are finally able to do the things that we have been telling them that they can do. We’re giving them the ability to be engaged with other users and it is making them want to be more engaged.”
“With Socious’ software, we were able to find our total solution for our needs. That combined with the team’s service, has contributed to our success.”
"The opportunity to engage members is really what will drive the success of the association. If we can make their opportunities more structured, if we could make things easier for them, if we could make it easier for them to take part, if we could make it easier for them to get into a particular area, then they’re going to be happy. It’s going to drive traffic to the website and it’s going to keep our members engaged. That’s our goal. And so, Socious has given us a platform for being able to do that."
“[Since using Socious,] our opportunity to use our own team to now focus on strategy, freeing up 5-10 hours a month over the course of a year, adds up to a lot of savings and dollars that can be used to move the organization forward.”
“During our selection process, Socious’ responsiveness, flexibility and attention to our specific needs weighed heavily into our decision. Those same qualities carried into our implementation and have continued beyond. A company in this business must be extremely agile, and that seems to be Socious’ operating principle.”
“The website is really creating the anchor solution to meet our needs. It provides the education, thought-leadership, and networking capabilities to bring our membership together.”
“Having one system that integrated our database, website and social media technologies was key to our decision in moving forward with Socious.”
"The benefits that COE received immediately was our $20,000 annual savings. That really hit a home run for COE."
“I couldn’t really promote things, I couldn’t help customers do event management, which is a big thing for them. Socious checked all those boxes for me, plus the customers could share documents.”
“We launched 200 online communities on the Socious platform to enable each of our local chapters to have a home on the VMUG website. The launch went off without a hitch!”
"We deal with a lot of large corporations, a lot of aerospace, a lot of military. They have a lot of security issues. They don’t like their folks logging onto the web, going to websites, going to different places. Interacting through the email client is still somewhat of a unique offering today. The versatility of still being able to interact that way with those very technical people is keeping us in a unique position and keeping us relevant."
