Solutions for Associations, Inc. (SFA) has extensive experience in the development of databases for associations. The management of data is critical for all associations, because these data are the link to members and to partners in the association's operations.  Poorly maintained databases can literally cause an association to fail in its endeavor to serve its members well.

The types of databases SFA has developed for its clients include:

	contact databases;
	membership databases;
	prospect databases;
	meeting registration databases, with confirmation modules, billing modules, and faculty modules;
	exhibitor databases;
	speaker/topic databases;
	competitive meeting databases;
	strategic planning databases;
	subscription databases, with order fulfillment modules and invoicing modules; and
	legislative tracking databases.

We believe in a customized approach for the development of databases for our association clients. While there are many fine association management packages available for associations in today's market, we have found that because they are "pre-packaged" to cover a variety of situations, they tend to treat all associations the same in terms of methods and approaches to enter and maintain data.  We believe that all associations are different, and require special care to develop databases and ways to manipulate that data which are unique to each association.

We program in PARADOX, a powerful database software. Its superior relational characteristics and flexibility allow us to develop simple approaches for the entry and utilization of data. Our expertise at developing such software combined with our association management expertise create a desirable combination for small to medium sized associations to develop a software package which addresses their specific needs.

In addition, we know that associations are trying to do more with less in the current environment of shrinking financial resources and growing desires on the part of members. To help associations address these issues, we also maintain databases for associations who find it more effective for SFA to do it than for them to purchase the software and employ full-time individuals to maintain their databases.
