Custom web applications and databases for professional associations, built so members, staff, and approved partners can work from any device.
Associations run on member records, shared documents, and templates that have to stay current for everyone who relies on them. When those live in desktop add-ons, separately licensed tools, or packages that don't quite fit, staff end up keeping systems alive instead of serving members.
J Street Technology has built custom software since 1994 for more than 600 clients. For associations, that usually means a secure web application members can reach from any device, with permissions that control exactly who can see and edit each record.
These are the problems Commercial Brokers Association brought to us, and they're common to many member organizations:
We've worked with many of the professional associations our clients belong to — construction associations, medical professional groups, collegiate associations, research societies, agriculture cooperatives, and sporting associations, to name a handful.
Take Commercial Brokers Association, a commercial real estate broker's association and long-time partner. They came to J Street struggling with two systems to manage their legal library — a Word system that kept breaking and an expensive online package that didn't meet their needs.
Using ASP.NET MVC and SQL Server, we designed a complete web-based system that hundreds of CBA agents now use to build and review real estate documents from anywhere, and we've continued as their partner for ongoing web development and support.
The Need
CBA's Legal Library Document Management System was a Microsoft Word add-on available only on Windows PCs, and it required users to be separately licensed by CBA before templates could be downloaded.
The Solution
J Street designed and built a completely new, responsive web-based system accessible from any device.
How it turned out
“They take the time to map out the full scope of work from soup to nuts, make sure they fully understand the product, the end-user, and our requirements, then come back to us with suggestions for improvements that we haven’t even considered.”
Mary Lyell Larsen, SVP, Research, and Customer Service, Commercial Brokers Association
Technologies: ASP.Net MVC, Microsoft IIS, responsive design
Every system is custom, but association projects usually include some combination of these:
It depends on scope. As a rough guide, small new applications typically fall between $20,000 and $50,000, medium applications between $50,000 and $100,000, and larger systems above that. We'll give you a realistic estimate after a free consultation.
