Many Not For Profits are now proving that In house developed or Open Source Content Management Systems can be a winner when using proprietary systems like iMIS(r) Association Software or Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

You could choose Joomla, Drupal, WordPress or Plone, connect to iMIS or CRM and be confident it's been done before by a proefessional developer who fully supports both the Open Soure environment, and also the vendor supplied connectivity options.

And by using Metisc mBO WebServices, you have the flexibility to connect now.... but move to another CRM later with no change of Content Management System .....

The hard questions about investing in a website and software which locks you into specific Customer or Member management software just became a whole lot easier.

Metisc have released their Metisc mBO WebSevices which operate against some of the major Customer Management systems in the market place. 

Not For Profit organisations, and an increasing number of commercial groups are starting to decide Open Source is a sensible, cost effective otion to provide members and customers or partners with different levels of secured access, ease of access, and utilise an enormous range of community developed web applications. 

But it's often difficult to decide between the expensive integrated websites provided with the underlying membership software; and the free Open Source alternatives which require custom developed integration services.

Metisc's mBO WebServices provide a sensible, professional alternative that with some of the Web systems is almost a "Plug and Play" experience. With the free Open Source modules, Metisc can provide the Metisc mBO WebServices, and a version of the Open Source Software that simply connects into multiple Customer and Member management systems. With Joomla for example, there are modules that cover social networking, online renewals, online shoping, event registrations, flexible forms (without needing a programmer), document management, blogs, wikis, forums,  and more.

You have the best of both worlds, a reliable proporietary Member or Customer Management, with the reliability of a number of the most propular Open Source Content Management Systems. 

And if you change your mind about your customer or member management in the future, your new CRM choice may already be supported allowing your integrated website to continue with only minor  changes.
