CDC Foundation Team
“The Advanced Communities implementation team was very responsive to our unique needs and worked with us to create an effective, customized member portal solution which we will be able to leverage across multiple member communities. The training and support provided to ensure we are able to maintain our current member portal and begin design of new portals has been extremely valuable. Thank you AC Team!”
John McKenney, Director of Platform Engineering, AACR
“Working with Advanced Communities was seamless, and what’s best, is they delivered above and beyond everything they promised their firm and software could provide. Their success is driven by customer success because they truly care.”
Simon Colmen, Digital Projects Adviser, Bond
“Solid and flexible Salesforce Events app. This flexible app has enabled us to manage a wide range of member only, free and paid events and training. It has so many features that we needed out of the box, such as flexible pricing models, discounts, Zoom integration and each new update brings a set of additional features. The Advanced Communities team are knowledgable, responsive and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend.”
Kimberly Hosking Senior Manager, Community & Strategic Programs, iCIMS
“I can not speak highly enough about Advanced Communities. The level of expertise, the quality of work, the constant open lines of communication – I truly have never worked with such a strong consultant before. I am beyond appreciative of not only the community that was created, but also the knowledge that was shared. I feel confident that our team will have what we need in terms of training and documentation to continue to maintain this community moving forward, which is a testimony to this incredible team.”
Marcello Finocchiaro, Deputy Head of Information Systems
“When we started collaborating with the Advanced Communities team, we were strongly impressed by the level of preparation, strong motivation and extreme willingness to provide a very rich solution well adapted to our needs. During the implementation phase, the Advanced Communities resources were highly efficient, reliable, dedicated and always found the most effective solutions to meet our requirements. Despite deadline and budget constraints, the go-live date was respected to the satisfaction of the Geneva Graduate Institute. We strongly recommend this company, this solution and the great team behind it.”
