Great Things Award Winners

Digital Transformation

Law Society of South Australia

ASI Products: iMIS, TopClass

Partner: Causeis

The Law Society of South Australia modernized its online presence with a new RiSE website and upgraded member portal integrated with iMIS. Within the first 3 weeks of go-live, members downloaded and submitted over 2,000 forms through the new Law Society Forms directory, immediately reducing support calls and errors. The platform simplified regulatory processes, turned hundreds of paper-based forms into efficient digital workflows, and gave members easy online access to certificates, invoices, and events.

The Law Society of South Australia will be celebrated at the iMIS Users Group Asia Pacific 2025 Discovery Conference.

Life Sciences Trainers and Educators Network (LTEN)

LTEN unified operations across membership, accounting, education, and awards. They cut 20 hours of manual accounting work per month, which eliminated the need for an independent contractor, while also reducing new member onboarding from 7 days to just 2 hours, while also streamlining user access through single sign-on. This transformation allowed LTEN to better support its members while decreasing the required staff and financial resources.
