Membership management software

Saw this today and nodded in a knowing way while I read it:

“Membership management software comes in all shapes and sizes, with most products running as hosted applications. Your organization’s specific needs will determine the applications that make the short list. For example, email list management is considered an essential function by most organizations. But depending on the organization, there can be a great variety of additional requirements, from fund raising and donation management through polling, bulletin boards, e-commerce, advertising, and content management.

With so many applications on the market, sifting through the products can be a difficult task.”

They were kind enough to not mention the added complication of getting all your users and management to agree on what they need. In a real-world scenario, this is even more complicated. 🙂

    Linux piracy?

    This is starting to get interesting. Is there proprietary Unix code inside of Linux and are all Linux users pirates? On the face of it that seems somewhat ridiculous, but if it’s in the courts, anything’s possible. SCO hasn’t gone public with their evidence, so it’s hard to say for sure what’s going to happen….

    Marc left a comment that had me nodding my head in agreement. “The problem I have is with some managers who save EVERYTHING on their personal .pst file and end up with +1 GB file size” While I haven’t had anyone break the 1GB plateau, I know exactly what he’s talking about. Most of the…

    Ralph Losey Says Firms Should Get Out of Lit Support Business

    Over the weekend Ralph posted a video on his blog, and had some rather strong opinions about what his firm is doing, and what firms should be doing in general. I no longer have to supervise a litigation support department. Instead I manage a relationship with a vendor. It is much more pleasant, believe me….
