Orchestra is steadily becoming a favored choice for associations that need to improve their member, director, executive, and committee or workgroup communications. Orchestra allows them to achieve these goals by providing them with simple to use, web-based communication solutions.
Whether you're a participating member or your Association's Orchestra administrator, the technical requirements for using or administrating Orchestra are exactly the same – all you need is a web browser and an email address. All Orchestra sites can be hosted and serviced by XStream Software, allowing you to focus on using the site to its full capacity instead of spending valuable time servicing it. Orchestra is a web-based communication center that allows association members with common goals, interests, ideas and priorities to stay informed about current events. Simple to use, customizable, cost-effective and flexible, Orchestra will quickly become your association members' favorite way to communicate and collaborate.
Orchestra is designed for associations!
Orchestra's flexible and easy to use nature will help associations achieve total clarity among members by providing them with an online communication center that is accessible by all members all the time. Members will appreciate your communication efforts, and are more likely to respond to Orchestra's personalized communication approach.
Now it's possible for associations to set up their own work website that will push information to the intended recipients, instead of making users search out the information they require. Use Orchestra to assign tasks, track results, exchange documents and manage communications – easily, efficiently, and online. Orchestra will simplify, focus and strengthen all your association's internal and external group communications.
WORKING GROUPS
Working group members will benefit from having their own private on-line filing system to post information, share ideas, and engage in discussions to develop comprehensive and timely solutions. It takes minutes to create private work areas and populate them with the appropriate members. You can define members of a workgroup, and organize them for common message delivery. Orchestra also supports multiple workgroups because individuals often need to be members of more than just one member group.
COMMITTEES
We know how difficult it is to get volunteers to commit to deadlines, attend meetings, and work through group processes. Orchestra allows volunteer committees to complete their tasks quickly by making it easier for them to access accurate information upon which to base their opinions and decisions. As new members join a particular project or issue discussion area, they are presented with an easy to follow chronology of events and instantly know to which level the discussion has progressed.
MEMBERS ONLY
Orchestra allows you to set up restricted access categories that are visible only to qualified members. You choose who is granted access to the site, or who may no longer view the information posted there. You can even choose which members may add postings or initiate discussions in restricted categories, and which members have read-only access.
DRAFT REVISION PROCESSES
When a document is posted on Orchestra, all members who are subscribed to the category the document is posted in will receive instant email notification of the new posting. Members are able to download, edit, and repost the information. They may also add comments and start a discussion regarding the posted document. This eliminates lost messages, documents, and puts an end to excuses. The information is always available on Orchestra, and all members have been notified of its existence.
ONLINE ARCHIVES OR LIBRARIES
Archives can be easily established so that a history of newsletters, press releases or other archival information is available at all times.
ONLINE FAQs
You can devote part of your Orchestra site to address FAQs. This allows new users to find answers to their questions regarding your association or your Orchestra site without depending on you or an appointed moderator for an answer.
