Company mission

To provide customers with a smart platform to hold their data.

Our take

For a long time, AMS (association management software) made a lot of sense, as integration wasn't an option and connecting software systems was a challenge. But as tools and software have evolved, better options have become available, allowing users to achieve more than possible with a traditional AMS.

After witnessing businesses struggle with large AMS systems, Jeff Horne and Laura Mindorff founded Wicket. A software company that provides customers with a smart platform to hold their data as well as the ability to integrate with other platforms, allowing customers to manage their data in an efficient way.

Its trusted by top member-based organizations such as the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health. Bringing new IT solutions to associations that much need it, Wicket has the ability to grow significantly and innovate the technology space.
