Membership organizations have invested in a range of powerful technologies, including CRMs, AMS, CMS, LMS, event platforms, online communities, and news feeds, to serve their members. The next logical step is to centralize these robust systems, ensuring members can easily access all relevant content and receive information tailored to their interests.

How does a member app work with my existing CRM or AMS? 

With MemConnect, your app integrates directly with platforms like Salesforce, iMIS, and Dynamics. That means no need for costly replatforming or data migration – just a connected mobile experience powered by your existing systems.  

Centralization: The key to member awareness 

With so many valuable platforms in play, content and engagement opportunities can become fragmented. By centralizing content sources in a single mobile app, you make it easy for members to discover events, courses, discussions, and news, no matter where the content originates.  

  • Learning Management Systems (LMS) for online learning and certifications  
  • Online community platforms for peer-to-peer conversations  
  • Event management tools for registrations, schedules, and reminders  
  • News feeds and content hubs for timely updates  
  • CMS for website content updates, such as blogs  
  • CRM and AMS for member portal data, allowing users to update their information and leverage personalization features

Smarter UX, better results

When combining these resources, it's essential to recognize that we all use apps and websites differently. Single navigation centres for each content type may be necessary in an app but requiring a user to click into these content centres to “see what’s new” is not the most efficient or enjoyable user experience.

A browsable chronological list mixing all this content together in the order in which it is published or updated is consistent with the social media UX we all leverage every day.  Centralizing your digital estate in a single, social-media-style mobile app delivers clear benefits:

  • Members enjoy a seamless experience, browsing all content and opportunities in one place  
  • Personalized feeds ensure each member sees the most relevant events, courses, and updates  
  • Real-time integration keeps information current, eliminating manual updates and data silos  
  • Staff continue to manage content in their existing systems, while the app automatically reflects changes   

Why MemConnect?

The Cantarus MemConnect app platform seeks to harness these best practices and UX principles for membership bodies and associations. With MemConnect, you can:  

  • Integrate with platforms like Salesforce, iMIS, Dynamics, Moodle, Higher Logic, and similar to govern users and content access/create permissions.   
  • Maintain data security and integrity by keeping information in your trusted systems with dynamic API-delivery to the app.  
  • Launch quickly, with minimal disruption and no need for major change management for the platforms in use.  


Do I need to rebuild my tech stack to launch a mobile app?

Not at all.  

MemConnect is designed for integrations-first deployment, which means it works with your current setup rather than replacing it. That gives you faster deployment, lower costs, and complete control over your data, with no major change management headaches.  

Extend the value of your digital investments  

Centralizing your member experience doesn’t mean duplicating effort or replacing what works. Instead, it’s about connecting your LMS, community, events, and content platforms into a single, engaging mobile experience – maximizing the value of your existing technology stack.  

By integrating these systems, you not only streamline access for members but also maximize the value of your existing technology stack. The result? A more personalized, efficient, and engaging experience that drives stronger member satisfaction and long-term retention.
