Bethesda , MD– Euclid Technology ( www.euclidtechnology.com ), a premier provider of integrated software solutions for associations, announced today that the California Medical Association (CMA) selected Euclid 's flagship, web-enabled software, ClearVantage® 7, for its new association management software (AMS) system.
The California Medical Association (CMA) is a professional association representing approximately 34,000 members who include physicians, residents, and medical students throughout the state of California.
With CMA’s continued growth in recent years, the organization recognized that it needed a far more efficient method of communication both internally and amongst its many affiliates throughout the state. CMA sought an AMS solution that would not only facilitate detailed member demographic reporting and dues processing but would also improve virtually all of the association management capabilities at CMA and its affiliates.
“We conducted an extremely comprehensive search to ensure that we saw what all of the AMS providers in the industry offer to their prospective clients. With an organization of our size and complexity, it was important that the solution we chose be able to meet our every need,” notes Shirley Wtulich, CMA’s IT Director. “We needed a powerful product that offered all of the web functionality that our members require and was backed up by the security of a smart, thin client application. In addition, it was imperative that the product be able to handle the complex dues and billing process of our 39 component societies while simultaneously having the breadth of functionality needed to manage our business practices…all without much customization to the original software. Euclid’s ClearVantage was able to meet our very specific needs. In addition, while functionality played a vital role in our decision, it was equally important to us that Euclid is known for working closely with each client. It was that commitment to understanding our business which sealed the deal for us.”
“The California Medical Association’s selection of Euclid’s ClearVantage is a seminal victory for Euclid, coming as it does just shy of Euclid’s 10th anniversary in business. CMA is our largest client to date, and the fact that they chose us over the biggest competitors in the industry highlights the technical superiority of our product that caters to the needs of professional associations like theirs. It also points to the stellar reputation that we have worked so hard to forge within this industry as the company that works tirelessly to understand each of our client’s unique organizational structures and processes, allowing us, in turn, to implement our product smoothly and successfully time after time,” states Euclid President and CEO, Charlie Vinal. “Our staff of highly skilled professionals will work closely with CMA to smoothly implement ClearVantage and build a long-lasting partnership that will last long after the ‘go live.’”
