Couto Solutions Private Community for Telligent Community Server adds functionality to allow you to easily create a community or social network that requires paid access. With Private Community you can offer multiple levels of paid membership access restricting members to the areas of the site their membership allows access to. With this Community Server Building Block, you’ll get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your walled garden is protected. Couto Solutions Private Community adds ease of maintenance provided by tools like automatic email notices, automated membership purchase and renewal, customizable membership contracts, and detailed membership reporting.

With Private Community, you can create and manage an unlimited number of custom memberships. In addition to creating custom memberships for individuals, you can also create custom memberships for groups. With group memberships, a single entity or person can purchase the membership that can then have any number of sub-members underneath it. This is a great solution for families or businesses as one person or entity takes care of paying for the membership, while the sub-members still get to have their own unique membership profile as well as a personalized membership experience.

With Private Community, managing memberships is simple. All membership purchases and renewals are fully automated, leaving the responsibility of signing up and renewing on the member and not the community manager. Members can purchase, renew, and even upgrade their memberships all on their own.

Couto Solutions’ Private Community for Telligent Community Server comes with a fully automated email communication system. This system allows community managers to create email schedules that will automatically send email notices to members throughout the course of their membership. Email notices can be used to advertise membership upgrade options, provide members with membership information, request member feedback, and to remind member to renew their memberships as they near expiration.

With Private Community, you will also be able to gauge the success of your community by taking advantage of the detailed membership reporting tools provided with it. You’ll have the ability to generate a variety of membership reports that give you detailed information on the health of your community, the rate of new membership sign ups, and how many memberships have expired. All membership reports can be exported to a CSV file for external use. Private Community is the ultimate solution to charging for membership access in a Telligent Community Server site.
