Well-Kept Secrets That Lead To Clean Data For Your Association

Issues with data not only present a problem for the association but it also causes members to question the quality of your association management software.  Common problems such as incomplete data, out-of-date data, and duplicate data are the direct result of not keeping data clean.  The task of keeping data clean may be a lengthy process as some associations have more than one system where data is accessed.  With data in multiple areas, it is crucial any changes or updates take effect in each area.

 

 

Technology and association management software has simplified the process of keeping data clean and up-to-date.  Set aside time daily for data to be maintained even though it may seem difficult to delegate time towards actually doing it.  That secret alone leads to quality data and ensures members have a positive experience as inaccurate or duplicate records are corrected on a regular basis.

 

Often, data issues take place when there are multiple systems like the online community and an email list.  If a change is made on a system, records on other systems should be automatically updated.  Anytime data is changed or moved, errors are less likely to happen by having one system in place to handle data being transferred or updated.  Integrate a system that handles your membership website, the online community, and emails so there’s never duplicate records.

 

 

Every year, associations want members to be more engaged with the online community and membership website.  Continuous engagement helps form a solid connection with members and it leads to additional instances when they can update their account.  Precise records of members and accurately adding new member details is an essential element for associations to be effective.  Consider these secrets for your association to always keep data clean so members stay engaged.
