I hope you're all having a great day! We heard the feedback, and we've been experimenting with numerous solutions, so that you're able to send PDF certificates of completion to all event attendees. For, well.. quite sometime now. Numerous days.. countless hours.. were spent, but we never lost hope and finally figured it out! 

Now, Your Chapter can email PDF’s of the certificates to members AND non-members.

Many of the Chapters that we work with have been updated, and we expect to finish the rest week. If you don’t see it just forward this newsletter to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we’ll take care of it.

Hi Everyone!  Mike here.  The following note below is from PMI.  It appears they're going to be doing some comprehensive technology updates over the weekend.  The updates will be Saturday US Eastern time.  All PMI Chapters will be affected BUT if you're with Proteon we have you covered because we provide the alternative login method through the 'Login Help' link on each chapter website in the partnership.  That link allows the chapter member to login and bypass the pmi.org SSO service so members can still register for events and get their member discounts.

How will the Upgrade Affect You?

All PMI.org websites and web applications will be unavailable on Saturday, 10 Febuary 2018, between 6 AM and 2 PM for a planned and scheduled upgrade.

What Systems are Affected?

These systems will be unavailable during the upgrade;

• PMI.org, myPMI, Search, Store (Marketplace)
• Certification, CCRS, Cert Admin
• CRS, VRMS, Component System, Exposure Draft
• CRM, Reports, Tech Admin

Look for the Coming Soon: IT Business Capabilities Upgrade message coming next week, with a link to Release Notes.

The life of a Chapter Volunteer is busy! So its very important to have the best state of the art tools and features to quicxly and easily create dynamic content, engage our membership and then go on with our lives. 

Newsletters are still a critical tool in keeping in touch with your membership.  With the AcyMailing Newsletter, you can communicate what is happening with the chapter, let them know of upmcoing events, send suveys, send out Calls for Speakers and Calls for Volunteers and update them on big upcoming events such as Symposiums, Professional Developement Days and Conferences.

We have becomee aware that there are intermittent issues occuring today when using the PMI Member Login Service.  Users are reporting an error message from PMI.org or they no longer seem to have access to the site.  

Proteon has built a fail-safe into all of our chapters in the event PMI's Single Sign On is down or experiences issues.  In this eventuallity, you can use the Login Help link and follow the instructions provided.  This will bypass the PMI Single Sign On and allow your members to continue to log in receive member discounts as well as your Board members and administrators access. 

If you have any issues using the Login Help link you can submit a ticket by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
