ATLANTA (December 9, 2020) – Rhythm, a cutting-edge provider of cloud-based software solutions for associations, today announced that it has signed an exclusive partnership with Kellen, the world’s leading association management company.
Offering the industry’s most comprehensive, user-friendly, cloud-native solution, Rhythm has completely rethought and redesigned the AMS from scratch in order to take advantage of technology advances to meet the current and future needs of associations and their members. Rhythm is the first cloud-native, serverless platform to embrace the microservices architecture that powers the world's leading technology companies; as such, it can provide rapid, user-driven innovation and productized third-party integrations never before seen in the association and non-profit technology market.
“We are excited to partner with Kellen,” said Andrew Ryan, co-founder and CEO of Rhythm. ”Thousands of associations have their faces pressed up against the glass of innovation, looking for a technology solution that will create engaging member experiences and empower their staff with less manual work and workarounds. The past five years has seen a massive change in the way complex systems like AMS platforms are built, and we intend to leverage this progress to create child-like joy in a market we know and love. This partnership with an industry leader in Kellen brings us a wealth of insight and knowledge from industry veterans and a shared goal of enabling non-for-profit organizations to change the world - one member at a time.”
The partnership combines the latest and most forward-thinking software platform for association management with Kellen’s leadership in technology and association operations. Together, the companies will work to design and implement technology solutions to help associations manage their operations across membership, education, e-commerce, events, finance, sponsorships, and volunteers.
“Our relationship with Rhythm is a continued reflection of Kellen’s commitment to innovation and the value of a truly integrated management platform in helping associations do more for less. Our global approach to driving the industry forward and investments in the world’s best technology solutions will continue to enhance member experiences and empower associations to innovate around the value they bring to their industries,” said Travis Rush, COO, Kellen.
