Hello IMA Members,

If you thought Batman and Robin were the Dynamic Duo, in the world of management accounting, think again - Technology and Innovation are one of many dynamic duo's.

One of IMA's Core Values relates to Innovation.  Innovation is wiping the slate clean, envisioning the future, asking "why not" rather than asking "why", saying "tell me more" rather than "no way we can implement" a new, "out there" kind of idea.  Innovation can result in incremental improvements, but it can also transform the way a business serves its customers.

A major element of IMA's strategy is to invest in technology enablement.  Technology is the springboard to agility and creative products, offers and services that create the "WOW" factor for IMA's global members.  Over the weekend, IMA went live with its back-office AMS (association management system, like an ERP or CRM enterprise system) which will allow IMA, over time, to create the best member experience as well as being the springboard to innovation.  Stay tuned!

Be on the look-out in the coming months for new product announcements enabled by technology.  "Remember the Member" is our credo in Montvale in our quest to deliver superior, sustained value to you.  As our "shareholders", you should expect nothing less.

Technology and Innovation, the dynamic duo!

Thanks.  As always, let me know what you think.
