I decided to make this a new topic... I don't know how sophisticated you guys need your space management system to be, but for now I've decided to go with groupspaces.com. I chose the $19.99 plan to get rid of the adds. The plan offers email and google analytics if that's important. Features:
-Up to 2,500 members -Unlimited member lists (i.e. by membership plan) -Event manager...members can add events so this works for meeting rooms. i will still use an external meeting room system for non- members. -Member database -Group mailing list -Group website -Membership forms (captures info for database) -Custom newsletters -Send invites & RSVPs -Forms & wikis -E-mail subscriptions -Member lists -E-mail archive -File repository I set up each membership plan as recurring subscriptions. I can also set up a store...day passes, additional meeting room hours, add-ons, etc. I can create invoices too. Being a novice, this seems pretty cool to me. We'll see. Our first member is ready to sign up so I had to have something up and running. I suffer from PWS (perfect world syndrome). In this world, we will have a totally paperless system. I converted the membership agreement to pdf and attached as a file/link on the approval/welcome email that generates automatically when I approve a membership. However, you can also add a page with the membership agreement and link to that. In the approval email, they are directed to read the MA because there will be a quiz. The "quiz"...I have read and accept the terms blah, blah, blah. Click Yes/No Oh, added bonus...it kind of looks like our website (coincidence) and the forum feels like old google groups. You can see the home page for the member site and take a quick peek at my website. You won't be able to see anything on the member site except the home page. members.theofficeconnexion.com www.theofficeconnexion.com My 2 cent of the day!
