Canadian association management software, built as a workflow platform.
Membership, events, credentialing, registry, communications and community run as workflows on one platform, in English and French. Oasis Computing has built association software in Newmarket, Ontario since the 1990s.
Built for associations that have to get decisions right.
Provincial regulators, professional bodies and credentialing organizations need workflows they can defend: applications reviewed consistently, decisions recorded, every step auditable, in both official languages. That's the work AssociationServer was built around. For professional associations → For regulators → For national associations →
One platform, configured in the Studios.
Staff design forms in the Design Studio, build processes in the Workflow Studio and publish bilingual pages in the Content Studio, all on the same data. New workflows go live in days, not months.

Audit-grade by default.
Every workflow leaves a trail. Every approval is recorded. Every change is timestamped. Built for organizations that have to defend their decisions to regulators, members, and tribunals.
AI where it helps, under your control.

We've spent a long time figuring out how association workflows actually work.
Founded
Oasis Computing builds its first association management system.
On the web
Our client-server AMS was rebuilt as a fully web-based platform and went live for ACTA, the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies, in 2001: the first commercial web-based AMS in production in Canada, and one of the first anywhere. Some of the market's largest systems still ran staff work on desktop software into the 2020s.
Content and workflows in one system
Re-engineered as an ASP.NET MVC application on the Orchard CMS. Content authoring and structured member workflows started living in the same system.
Onto the Azure Cloud Fabric
Moved into the Microsoft Azure Cloud Fabric: Canadian data residency, enterprise-grade infrastructure, and room to build the workflow studios properly.
Version 5
Every member-facing workflow — membership, events, community, credentialing, communications, AI-augmented SmartLists — on a single platform.
Still designed by its architect.
Mike Bishop has designed association software since the 1990s: first client-server, then the first commercial web-based AMS in production in Canada, live for ACTA in 2001 and one of the first anywhere.
His focus from the start has been workflows that move between members, organization administrators and staff, such as applications, renewals, roster changes and approvals, designed so members can complete them without a manual or training.
Mike is President and Lead Architect of Oasis Computing, and still designs AssociationServer 5 alongside our team and the associations we serve. Many of today's Solution Blueprints began as one client's problem that we worked through together, and became something every client can use. The platform is hosted in Canada, and your data stays yours to export.
