| | Platform independant. Use any computer that has MS Internet Explorer or Safari and an Internet connection. |
| |
|
| | Do not have to buy any new computers for each Chapter. Financial officers can use their own desktop or laptop computers as long as they have access to the Internet. Not having to buy computers alone will pay for the program. |
| |
|
| | No installation headaches. Software does not have to be installed on a chapter PC. No CD’s to ship, no installation problems with the different types of Windows Operating Systems. |
| |
|
| | If there is an upgrade to the program there is no need to update the software on the chapter computer. Once an upgrade is installed on the server all users are immediately upgraded. Again no need to ship and install the program on individual CD’s |
| |
|
| | Backups are automatic. The program and all the databases are on a server in a fireproof building, with daily backups and mirrored hard drives. (If one drive fails the other drive is immediately brought on-line while the other is replaced. 99% uptime). |
| |
|
| | Access is password secured. Passwords are be controlled by headquarters via their own administration area. If there is an officer you no longer want to have access to the program you can merely change their password or eliminate them from the list. |
| |
|
| | Data security. Proprietary data is not on any computer in the chapter house. |
| |
|
| | Headquarter financial officers have access to the chapter accounting databases at all times, from anywhere in the world. No longer does a chapter need to mail reports to headquarters. |
| |
|
| | Headquarters can generate amalgamated reports from all the chapter databases, such as Accounts Receivable/ Income-Expense/Budgets, etc. |
| |
|
| | At all times the Chapters have full access to their bank and their own funds. They can write checks or use a debit card at any time during their course of business. |
| |
|
| | Chapter members can log into their accounts via user name and password for statements and payment of bills. Program accepts payment via credit cards. |
