As a busy professional I whole heartedly support my professional organisation, I sit on various committees which plan our future, when we reviewed our membership lists we realised that we needed to collect our annual subscription income on time and chase up the slower members. We need to keep our membership lists up do date and collect the member's annual fees on time.

We are also a international organisation with members in all time zones, so a web based solution with 24/7 access seemed a natural choice. However, cost became a hurdle early on, we could not affor a in house solution that met the requirements and the web based solutions did not meet the bill. Then we had a meeting with Objective Internet, they quickly appreciated our problems and came up with appropiate solutions.

Without the membership fee income coming in on time we would soon cease to be a supportive professional and examination body. 

One of our significant costs is the production of our professional journal, which is based on our current membership list, if this is not up to date, new members will not receive the journal and those that have not paid will receive it, this does not provide a professional image of our organisation.
