Validate complex federation structures, specialized accounting and integration requirements in discovery. Optional prepayment is not a required service commitment.
GrowthZone
The AMS quote alone may not represent the full scope of your project. Ask for separate website and optional GZ Learn costs, plus implementation and ongoing-service terms.
Plan your migration
- Document organization-to-person relationships, directory listings, sponsor records and any chamber-specific billing. Include website content and learning history if those services are changing.
- Inventory contact records, membership types, renewal dates, consent preferences and documents. Confirm what your current vendor can export.
- Map fields and relationships with your new provider. Test a sample import and reconcile member, contact and payment totals before the full move.
- Review recurring payment permissions, open invoices, accounting mappings, website URLs and email-domain settings. Payment credentials may need a separate transition.
- Agree on staff training, member communications and a cutover date. Keep access to historical records and confirm your existing notice and renewal terms.
