AMIA uses Sengii’s Online Community to Enhance Collaboration and Improve Knowledge Sharing
The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) is a community committed to the vision of a world where informatics transforms people’s healthcare. When their contract with their existing online community provider came up for renewal, they decided to explore their options to find the best solution for their evolving needs.
Eduard Herman, responsible for the project at AMIA, led the initiative to find the right platform. After evaluating various options, AMIA selected Sengii because it met all their requirements. He liked that Sengii had a transparent, simple pricing model with no hidden costs and guaranteed integration pricing.
The Need for a Connected Community
AMIA’s members—researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals—needed a centralized space for collaboration, including the ability to work on documents together in real time.
How Sengii Delivered
Sengii worked closely with AMIA to implement a tailored solution that met their specific needs. Key features included:
- Salesforce Fonteva Integration – Sengii integrated with Salesforce Fonteva, including a write-back feature to ensure seamless data synchronization.
- Seamless User Experience – With single sign-on (SSO) and intuitive navigation, members could easily engage in discussions and access resources.
- SharePoint Integration – Sengii developed a custom SharePoint integration to enhance document collaboration.
Expanding Capabilities: SharePoint Integration
Although Sengii offered resource-sharing tools with an existing Etherpad integration, AMIA chose to integrate SharePoint to align with their existing workflows. This enhancement allowed members to:
- Utilize SharePoint’s document management features within the community environment.
- Improve workflow efficiency with a centralized hub for collaboration and document access.
- Link, access and share documents within discussions.
- Search and retrieve files without switching platforms.
- Maintain secure, role-based access to shared documents.
Immediate Impact & Results
Since launching the Sengii Community and integrating SharePoint, AMIA experienced significant benefits:
- Higher Engagement Rates – Increased member participation and collaboration.
- Improved Efficiency – Easy access to SharePoint documents directly within the community.
- Positive Member Feedback – Users praised the seamless experience and improved resource accessibility.

“AMIA’s Communities solution through Sengii is a critical part of its tech stack since it provides our membership a space to collaborate with each other, this being a most valuable ingredient of AMIA’s value proposition. The addition of the SharePoint integration strengthens the member experience. Furthermore, it offers each of the entities within AMIA a repository of data that each governance team can leverage thus stimulating strong leadership from term to term.”
Looking Forward
By partnering with Sengii, AMIA successfully enhanced collaboration and knowledge sharing within their community. Sengii’s ability to provide a robust integration with Salesforce Fonteva and SharePoint, highlighted the value of a flexible, member-focused platform that evolves with organizational needs.
