Network and affinity group membership services have evolved significantly during the past few years. Today, the best networks take responsibility for sourcing not only the best financial products and terms for members, they now take responsibility for researching software and related services.

For networks and members alike, having an understanding and influence on member technology represents a real win-win:

The network gets to do the job of compliance checking back office and internet components (such as guides, calculators, fact finds) once, so saving reinventing the wheel with each new member.

Members get the benefit of using technology that has been reviewed and endorsed as being compliant with best practice guidelines and network procedures.

Members get the benefit of standardised systems on which the network or service provider can base a program of pro-active business coaching and support.

What's more, members get the benefit of discounted terms.
