Sharing their journey towards their success as a Glue Up partner was Jerome Wiehe, Managing Director at Fast Forward. Here’s what he had to say:
How We Discovered Glue Up
We discovered Glue Up in mid-2021 while researching member management solutions for an association client we had previously worked with on several event technology and mobile app solutions. After looking at a range of possible solutions, I discovered Glue Up, and their all-in-one solution met all my clients' feature requirements and was the ideal software to present to them.
Fast Forward has evolved with the ever-changing technology landscape by partnering with Glue Up, whose mission is to transform how professional communities enable and enrich relationships with its all-in-one engagement management ecosystem. We can provide clients with a full suite of tools designed to streamline operations, modernize processes, and eliminate engagement challenges through our partnership.
As a Glue Up partner, we assist clients in successfully integrating the platform into their organizations and provide ongoing administrative, staff training, and system support services. We further assist them in community engagement strategy, digital marketing, and event support. In addition, we constantly strive to meet their unique challenges and requirements.
