Q™ version 1.5 released in September – added functionality to membership, email, and user interface builder

Herndon, VA — gomembers made its newest release of Q™, version 1.5, available on September 1, 2005. Q™, gomembers’ newest Association Management System (AMS) utilizing Microsoft’s .NET technology, was initially released in March of 2004. Q™ will bring organizations into the 21st century, with full features that provide complete back office, front office and e-commerce processing in one integrated solution. Several of gomembers’ customers have migrated to Q™ and new clients are being won over by the scalability and ease of use. Many customers are taking advantage of the GO2Q program to upgrade from their association+, az*ware, dmg4, and pinnacle systems.

Consistent with the gomembers philosophy of continual improvements and response to customer requests, Q™ version 1.5 release is one of many planned to enhance the product. Its intuitive and user definable user interface and the role-base functionality make Q™ easy to learn and use. gomembers’ President and CEO, Paul Plaia III, detailed the new release by noting that Q™ enhances productivity through its use of .NET technology and the system’s intuitive interface, providing a simple means for even non-technical users to customize its use for their individual needs.

The update adds new functionality and also makes improvements in key areas, including: Membership Management; immediate real-time Address Verification; simple broadcast email; and, the User Interface Builder. Architectural enhancements have been added to provide performance improvements throughout Q™. All the changes are designed to keep Q™ at the forefront of AMS systems utilizing the versatility of .NET.

Some of the highlights include the addition of a new Broadcast email system with an easy-to-use template, HTML editor, and more. Q’s Membership module’s setup programs were updated to improve workflow setup. Address verification was given greater efficiency by replacing CD updates with a hosted web service. Additional functionality was given by providing a single click to export data to Microsoft Excel from inside of Q™.
One of the unique aspects of Q™ is the Q User Interface Builder (QUIB™). It includes an editor that allows for user definable Home Pages, menus, and screens. QUIB™ allows the user to arrange pages in a format that best suits their specific individual and department needs.

In this latest version, Q users are presented with an option to display Search Results of a variable horizontal size. The Metadata Object maintenance program has added options such as Key Definitions, and Role-Based Security Settings. The Metadata Relationships maintenance program incorporates both pre- and post-processing definitions.
