iMIS and MailChimp work better together.
Take the guesswork out of your mailing lists!
I created a nightly SaaS service that uses standard API calls to pull iMIS contacts, comm preferences, and IQA-defined tags over to MailChimp as well as pulling user interaction data from MailChimp into panels in iMIS.
How it works:

A web-based admin menu allows configuring synchronization options and technical details about your iMIS and MailChimp systems. Once configured, the synchronization runs once per night automatically. Email reports are sent when the process is complete.
