CAM-I Subscription Based Membership

CAM-I online membership model

Introduction

The new pricing model that provides online membership and access to CAM-I’s intellectual property (IP), also known as the Body of Knowledge (BoK).  The price proposal is based on a “low price point, high volume” concept.  It is similar to CAM-I’s existing full membership model that applies a sliding scale based on member Company size. 

The classification of the membership types are –

Small – The size of the organization is limited to companies, partnerships, or other Organizational structures with less than 3 professional employees (i.e., excludes clerical and administrative support). A virtual company, composed of a network of individuals who are not employees of one company, is not a qualifying organization. The revenue or budget threshold is less than $50 Million per annum.

Medium – Organizations with less than $1 Billion, but more than $50 Million in revenue or budget.

Large – Organizations with more than $1 Billion in revenue or budget.

1. For corporate members (requires proof of corporate affiliation through mechanisms like a corporate email address and not a private “gmail” type email address):

*Joining fee covers cost of Body of Knowledge portal access and is a once off payment.  However, if dues are not paid and rejoining is required then the joining fee is paid again.

Fee provides the following benefits:

1. 1 year access to any body of knowledge deliverables that are more than 2 years old.  Deliverables that are less than two years old are exclusively available to full members. Access and password will be provide upon payment.
2. Access to deliverables is through a dedicated, web-based portal site.
3. Special member discounts are available to online members.  These discounts will be half of those that full members receive.  E.g. full members get a 10% discount on books; online members will get a 5% discount.  Discounts apply to:

   a. External training sessions provided by CAM-I through vehicles such as Austin Chamber of Commerce, other Chamber of Commerce Organizations, 360 training, etc.

   b. Purchase of CAM-I books

   c. Attendance of conferences that are jointly sponsored by CAM-I

   d. Discounted rates at seats to workshops offered during quarterly meetings of full members.

4. Permission to attend one quarterly meeting to experience the collaborative environment and the benefits full membership can provide.
5. Option to have current year’s fees go towards full membership in the event of an upgrade from online to full member.  This option is available for a four month period commencing on the effective date for the online membership.  For this offer to be valid, payment must be received before the end of the four month option period.

2. For individuals:

Deliverables are available for individual purchase, the price being determined by the age and perceived value of the deliverable.

• Each deliverable purchased will be emailed to the individual after payment has been received.
• No discounts are available to individuals
• No portal access is provided

Limits on deliverables

1. Online members and individual purchasers can only use deliverables for internal business purposes.  CAM-I does not give permission to use its deliverables and intellectual property for the provision of services to other parties.
2. All documents are available in PDF format only.
3. A full list of deliverables will be available on the main CAM-I web page.  The online BoK does not include CAM-I books published by third parties (e.g. Wiley and Sons) which can be purchased separately at a discount.
