If your organization is like most, today your members want immediate access to you and one another, as well as a wide range of "on-demand" services. The Internet provides the best possible environment to meet the unique, evolving needs of each of your members on a personalized basis. And Harris Connect offers the best possible selection of affordable, fully scalable online solutions that help you take advantage of the Internet to manage and build relationships-and community-more effectively.

A sampling of our integrated solutions that strengthen your member base include:

Online Directory.
Our pre-populated, secure Online Directory is the core of interactive Internet services for most institutions and groups, enabling members to connect easily with their association and with each other. The searchable Online Directory provides sophisticated networking capabilities for your members, increases participation through its viral marketing features, and lets you capture additional data and report on activity and usage. The most scalable directory in the association market today, it gives both you and your members complete control over profile content. With an expansive array of data fields available, your members will be able to network beyond basic contact information such as geographic area and area of special interest.

Discussion Groups.
Participate in group discussions with your members or enable them to talk to each other through Web or email postings. Your organization can offer one or more groups for subscription, and your users can choose which groups they want to subscribe to and how they want to receive and send messages to other group subscribers. Your administrators control the subscription and posting policies, in addition to other group related discussion controls.

Member Notes.
Leverage one of the most successful and engaging offline activities from the educational world-class notes-to enable members to share their news and accomplishments. Members can enter a note (or just fill out a few fields and the software will generate the note for them automatically) as well as include photos. You determine the default selection of notes that members see based on criteria such as area of special interest, chapter affiliation or membership type-personalizing the experience for your members. Since Member Notes are tied to each individual's Online Directory profile, they help you build deeper member profiles that extend well beyond demographic information.

Permanent Email.
Give your members an email address that never changes and that is affiliated with your organization. Even when they change jobs or email providers, their permanent email addresses will remain the same. Harris Connect hosts this service, so it is supported-as with all other Harris Connect applications-with full redundancy. Unlike most other vendors, we also provide multiple levels of SPAM protection.

And more.
Many other Harris Connect Internet solutions help you build vibrant online member communities, including comprehensive ecommerce solutions to support event management, online dues payments, online donations, career support and more.
