April 22, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
gomembers made its newest release of Q™, version 1.4, available on April 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 Internet integration for their users, members, constituents and prospective members. Several of gomembers’ customers are migrating to Q™ and new clients are being won over by the scalability and ease of use.Consistent with the gomembers philosophy and practice of continual improvements and response to customer requests, Q™ version 1.4 release is one of many planned to enhance the product. It’s 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 Meetings, User/Role Maintenance, and the User Interface Builder. The architectural enhancements provide improvements in performance 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 easier creation of Roles and the assignment of Users to Roles that allows for better customization for each organization. With the rewritten Meetings Module, the setup function has categories such as date, discounts, demographics, and equipment. It also allows the user to add meetings, add speakers, complete searches, and manage registrant data among other meeting-related functions.
One of the unique aspects of the Q™ system 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. This means the client’s administrator can grant the capability, user by user in their organization, to customize the screens on their desktop to reflect the functions they utilize most.
In this latest version, the Home Page now displays the Key value and processing company, which is important for organizations dealing with multiple entities, such as chapters. The search, filter, and sort capabilities were enhanced. Under forms, a user is able to define what fields are displayed in the Title Bar area.
