Welcome to the new IEEE Business Management System (BMS) statistical reports. The December 2007 BMS Membership Statistics and Non-Member Subscription Statistics are now available. Because of the new business system, there are considerable differences in the way the data is captured, segmented and presented in these reports. We will, during the next months, include some background information and hints to help you with understanding and analyzing the data in this new report. For example, one of the first results you will look for is total Society memberships. Because of the business rules in this new system, the December 2007 stats may appear to have a relatively higher membership count than prior years. This is because these reports count members that have declined to renew their society membership for 2008 as active until 31 December 2007 (these members are active members until the end of the 2007 service year). However effective 1 January 2008, these memberships will be cancelled for the 2008 renewal year, and consequently will be eliminated from the January 2008 stats. Prior to 2007, the stats reports removed these members from the active counts during the month (November or December) they declined to renew their society membership for the following year, not waiting until January 1. However these members were indeed active members until 31 December 2007. Therefore the BMS December 2007 stats reflect the active 2007 memberships as of 31 December 2007, but are not a good indicator of progress of 2008 renewals. January 2008 stats will be a better indicator since the report will reflect the 2008 membership renewals received to date. However as renewals continue to be processed this number will be dynamic. Throughout the year, we will inform you of other background information regarding the new reports. If you have any questions about the data included within these reports, please contact your respective Financial Analyst or Society Member Services at society-info@ieee.org or +1 732 562-3900.
