ACS Webinar Guest Appearance

I had some great fun working with the team from ACS last week.  Darci Shelley (ACS R&D Lead) and the ACS team asked that I be a special guest on the MegaChurch Team Webinar and since I am always up for trying out something new I agreed to participate.

For the past few months they have been building the community and communication lines between the MegaChurch segment of the company’s customers thru webinars twice each month.  The webinars have included product road maps, current features and new features in the latest release of the software.

This week’s webinar focused on the Registration component of Access ACS, the updates to this component are expected to release in November and this includes some great interaction between Registrations and Facility Scheduler.  We have been working with the R&D team for 9 months on this integration are very excited to see it come to market.  After these changes are in place we will be moving back over to the ACS Registration suite from ServicU.  This progress will take us one step further in fully defining the work flow for organizing, scheduling, managing and hosting events for our ministries… and a large portion of that process will be automated.

Darci asked me to be on the webinar to talk about how ACS and Northwoods have worked together to improve this part of the product line and how it is improving our workflow.

It was a lot of fun to announce live the branding Northwoods.ME for our AccessACS (ACS on the web) portal and to be part of the ACS iPhone application announcement,  ACS ChurchLife!, all on the webinar!

I have said it before, ACS has the right people on their team and they continue to impress me.  I am continually reminded they are the right team at the right time for the needs of our ministry! 

I had a great time working thru the technical challenges of a live webcast from multiple sites with the ACS team.  I got to learn a lot about AdobeConnect, which continues to impress me.  We used our web cam and ACS made me a co-presenter and I was able to stream my video and audio and interact with the ACS team.
