Wouldn’t it be great to have 1 place to visit to learn about the Platforms in our space, <!channel>? Yes? Great - I’ve been working hard on this and will be launching August 20th(ish). I’d love to have some volunteers to check out the resources I’m including. Right now I have: • a Vendor selection spreadsheet with the categories of features • a tab for questions to ask the customer references for each platform (including the biggest most common challenges for new software purchases in our space) • a list of things to consider internally as you consider a purchase • a chart of existing platforms and their features today • An updated guide to replacing Influitive • the top 8 scenarios for purchasing advocate/reference software and my recommendations for each • community reviews and comments (anonymous) • concerns mentioned in the yearly Advocacy software survey I’d love to have 10 people take a look as I finish these resources - some available now - and contribute ideas, feedback, content. Are you interested? PS - Potential sponsors, I will be including your solutions in some exclusive manner, so if you haven’t decided to sponsor, get on board!

@Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) - is this document live yet? This is exactly what I need right now. I'm doing research on platforms like Influitive that would complement ReferenceEdge (our advocacy activity tracking system), Khoros (our Community), and potentially Sendoso for rewards fulfillment. So excited you thought to put something like this together!
