When selecting a technology platform for managing memberships, events, conferences, CPD, sponsorships, education, and member portals, organisations have the option to choose between Upbeat, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and a robust off-the-shelf solution, and a custom-built Microsoft Power App.
This blog explores the advantages of Upbeat, focusing on implementation speed, cost-effectiveness, scalability, integration, and long-term maintenance.
Introduction
Associations and membership-based organisations require comprehensive solutions to streamline operations and enhance member engagement. The decision between adopting a ready-made solution like Upbeat and investing in a custom-built Power App can significantly impact efficiency, cost, and long-term sustainability.
Upbeat versus custom Microsoft Power App for Association Management
Conclusion
While a custom Microsoft Power App provides flexibility, the high costs, lengthy development cycles, and maintenance efforts make it a challenging choice for associations. Upbeat from Professional Advantage, on the other hand, offers a comprehensive, scalable, and cost-effective solution that delivers immediate value, seamless integration, and continuous innovation.
Organisations looking for a future-proof, industry-aligned, and easy-to-maintain association management solution should strongly consider Upbeat.
