Description
For iMIS EMS Cloud

Clean data is key for both your best business intelligence and a properly working software system. Poor data integrity can wreak havoc in upgrades, so it is important to identify and clean up the data before it causes issues. We'll start our NiUG Roadshow session by talking about the things you need to consider before migrating to IMIS EMS Cloud. We will share reports/scripts that you can use to help you determine what to run, review and change before making the move, so your transition can be a success.

To Streamline Processes

The Great Resignation is real. If you are working with less staff and those remaining are all now wearing multiple hats, then you need to automate! Utilizing iMIS's Process Automation and Alerts will help your staff be more efficient to save them time and stress. This session will focus on ideas of what other organizations are doing in the way of automating processes, alerting staff to action items, and even alerting your members to act for themselves!
