Association Technology Solutions

What Association Technology Solutions does

Association Technology Solutions (ATS) is a privately held, partner-owned Authorized iMIS Solutions Provider (AiSP) that has specialized exclusively in the iMIS Association Management System (AMS) platform since 1996. Headquartered in Arvada, Colorado with a team of approximately 15 staff, ATS sells consulting, design, support, and custom development services to membership-based associations and nonprofit organizations, alongside a proprietary iMIS Bridge integration platform with 150+ pre-built connectors to third-party CRM, LMS, email marketing, event management, CMS, advocacy, and SSO tools. The company also offers vertical-specific modules (ATS Online Marketplace for eCommerce, ATS iMIS Catalog for product filtering, ATS Ultimate Spreadsheet Importer for data ingestion) and vertical solution suites targeting bar and legal associations, faith-based organizations, events, certification, email marketing, and data optimization.

The company's technology stack is built around iMIS EMS running on the RiSE web engagement platform and powered by Microsoft Azure, with ATS layering its own integration, eCommerce, catalog, and data-import modules on top. Revenue is generated through three streams: professional services (consulting, design, support, custom development) sold on multi-year engagements; iMIS Bridge integration licensing (standalone modules and bundles, with 500+ bridges sold); and subscription/recurring revenue from ATS Online Marketplace and, in bar associations, all-access CLE subscriptions. Go-to-market is direct and consultative via atsol.org, supplemented by a heavy webinar cadence and the free ATS Learning Center (powered by Blue Sky eLearn), which doubles as a top-of-funnel demand-generation engine.

ATS serves primarily small-to-mid-market associations and nonprofits across the United States, with vertical depth in bar/legal and faith-based segments. The firm markets itself as "former association leaders" with 30+ years of iMIS-only focus and 450+ years of combined team experience, and claims 100+ iMIS clients and 90,000+ completed support requests. No external funding, M&A activity, or public financial disclosures are present in the available information.
