Agilutions Releases Credentialing Management System White Paper
Agilutions Consulting, an Avectra Implementation Partner, has released a white paper, “Bridging the Gap between Certification Standards and the Software Needed to Implement Them,” by Stephen Spruce. Spruce discusses 5 key elements to look for when evaluating a certification management system.
The paper explains that well-designed certification management systems go beyond software considerations alone and should integrate an understanding of industry standards, customer service goals, and operational needs along with the appropriate technology, data collection, documentation, and standard operating procedures
Spruce summarizes the need for a system that has flexible configuration, accommodates exception paths, integrates structured workflow, automated accuracy, and provides real-time views.

Stephen Spruce is a self-proclaimed “Process Junkie” who believes that even the most complex processes can be broken into smaller and more manageable elements. He received his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1996 and after graduation developed telecommunication management and provisioning systems for Hewlett Packard and BoldTech Systems. Stephen’s introduction to the world of credentialing came in 2003 when he was hired as the technical lead and architect for Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards where he led a highly successful full implementation of Avectra’s netFORUM Enterprise to manage CFP Board’s certification processes and build a complete online application and renewal process for the CFP® certification.
Stephen co-founded Agilutions Consulting to provide technical solutions with a focus on customer success for the association and credentialing industries. His passion for innovative software approaches led him to evolve the idea of eXtreme Programming (XP) to create the Agile Solution Delivery methodology that Agilutions uses today.
Agilutions Consulting, founded in 2005, is a Denver, CO based software implementation team working primarily with associations and credentialing organizations. Agilutions is an Avectra Implementation Partner and provides technology solutions based on Avectra’s netFORUM Enterprise – Advanced Association Management System.
