35+ years in IT. Practical answers.
HourNerd combines decades of IT experience with a firsthand understanding of membership organizations: how the technology works, how the organization runs, and what staff need to get things done.
A background in IT and membership management
Our founder managed a membership organization for 10 years before working with the Minnesota Safety Council and South Dakota Safety Council. That experience connects the daily needs of membership organizations with the IT systems that support them.
- iMIS association management workflows and staff support
- Microsoft 365, Windows environments, and VMware infrastructure
- SQL Server administration and reporting experience
- Classroom technology, audiovisual systems, and web applications
This is professional experience, not a representation that either the Minnesota Safety Council or South Dakota Safety Council endorses or partners with HourNerd.
An unusual combination
Many providers know servers. Others know applications. Association technology requires understanding both the systems and the membership business.
- Technical problem solving with attention to day-to-day staff needs
- Member, company, event, and revenue-related workflows
- Interfaces and automation built within cloud constraints
- Clear explanations, careful testing, and useful documentation
Our aim is to solve the problem in a way your team can maintain.
Independent by design
HourNerd serves organizations and individuals without claiming a relationship with a software vendor that has not been established.
- Transparent scoping and realistic feasibility assessments
- No unverified certifications or partner claims
- Respect for confidentiality and intellectual property
- Solutions designed for long-term supportability
