Case Study: South African Society of Travel Medicine achieves seamless data migration and smoother events with Glue Up

How SASTM is Achieving Long-term Growth with Glue Up

The South African Society of Travel Medicine (SASTM), an associations organization of about 3,000 members, faced a critical challenge: their decade-old, custom on‑premise database had become legacy software with waning support and could no longer meet evolving event and membership needs. After meeting Glue Up at Meetings Africa, SASTM adopted Glue Up’s all‑in‑one association management software in December 2018 and then confronted the difficult task of migrating highly customized data and retraining staff to a cloud platform.

Glue Up supported the migration with onboarding, training and 24/7 support and delivered features such as event page creation, ticketing, mobile apps and automated contact updates. As a result, SASTM consolidated its data into a single platform, ran a conference with smooth registrations and applications, and reported improved membership engagement and event management — outcomes SASTM attributes directly to Glue Up’s platform and hands‑on support.
