After 20 years of helping associations and nonprofits modernize their technology, 108 ideaspace is launching idealAMS, a new dual-platform Association Management System (AMS) designed to redefine how organizations engage, manage, and grow.
Set to debut at AMSFest 2025 in Washington, DC (November 19–21), idealAMS combines the power of Salesforce with the flexibility of WordPress. The result is a platform built for performance, scalability, and real impact.
Two Decades of Experience Driving Innovation
For the past two decades, 108 ideaspace has worked alongside associations and nonprofits across North America and Canada. The team has implemented solutions that simplify systems, reduce manual work, and empower organizations to focus on their mission.
“Our work has always been about listening,” says the 108 ideaspace team. “We’ve seen associations and non-profits struggle with technology that overcomplicates instead of simplifying. We designed idealAMS to fix that by combining powerful capabilities with ease of use.”
The result is an AMS that aligns with how associations actually operate and grow.
What Makes idealAMS Different
idealAMS delivers a unique combination of enterprise strength and user-friendly design. Built on Salesforce’s secure architecture and WordPress’s intuitive content management system, it integrates with more than 10,000 pre-built applications. This allows associations to connect seamlessly with the tools they already use.
Organizations using idealAMS are already reporting measurable results:
- A provincial association network unified 10 independent chapters into one platform.
- A professional community increased engagement by 9,000 percent.
- Executive directors eliminated $180,000 in manual process costs.
- Marketing teams improved member retention by 34 percent in just 90 days.
With a 90-day implementation model and 25 to 40 percent lower total cost of ownership than traditional AMS solutions, idealAMS provides transformation without disruption.

The “Know Your Tech” Audit: Focus on What Matters Most
Before changing systems, it is important to understand what is already working. That is why 108 ideaspace created the Know Your Tech Audit, a structured review that helps associations identify their technology strengths, weaknesses, and growth opportunities.
This audit helps you determine what should be improved, what should stay, and what needs attention. Not every system requires replacement. Often, the right enhancements can unlock significant value without starting over.
Each participant receives a personalized roadmap to success that provides a clear path toward modernization and sustainability. With 2026 approaching, now is the time to prepare your organization for the future. The Know Your Tech Audit gives you a complete picture of where you stand and how to move forward with confidence.
