UMC Tables
UMCTables.com serves a critical function for UMC Conferences. One
of the things that a "Conference" does is manage all the churches
in a particular area. Every year all the churches must report year-end
statistics. They are asked about 100 questions each. The project would
have been simpler if each Conference asked exactly the same questions,
but that's not the case. The challenge comes in the fact that each Conference
asks slightly different questions but that we also needed to create one
codebase and database to ease management. We were able to meet both objectives
and handle tens of thousands of year-end filings from mostly non-technical
users — so the UI had to be as simple and clear as possible. |

The Web Console
The Web Console is a single solution with a variety of applications. Think
of it is like Legos® for deploying Web-based
dashboards. It supports the differing content and data management
needs of about 30 different organizations. It's used to manage website
content like, news, pages, events, FAQs, classifieds, etc but also other
contact type stuff like, people, jobs, assignments, churches
and so on. Because of the way it is constructed it lowers the cost of
change to the owners and allows them to add tables, fields relationships
and/or modules to build in the new things they need while keeping all
the data management in one system. |

The UMC Content Management System
Our UMC content management system ties into the Web Console back-end and provides
a UMC Conference tremendous amounts of out-of-the-box functionality.
It has grown over the years and will continue to evolve as technology
changes. |

Our Event Registration System
Our event registration system is a module of the Web Console and content
management system. It provides high-end event registration functionality.
Events can have sessions, meals and entrees, items for sale, lodging,
multiple registrant types, teachers. They can take deposits and allow
registrants to pay later or pay for other registrants. The system is
battle-tested and has processed tens of thousands of registrations and
taken millions of dollars in registration fees. |

The UMC Audio Library
The UMC audio library is an archive of music, interviews, speeches and
more. It's searchable and tracks popular views and downloads. Our Web
Console product is the back-end that allows the administrators to manage
the database.

North Alabama Stats Dashboard
The "stats dashboard" is a cool little system. Basically, the UMC Conference wants to know a few bits of statistical information about each church on a weekly basis. For example, "how many people attended the weekly service?" or "how many people were baptized?" or "how many new people did you get?" or "how many people left?" They want to know this information frequently so that they can react quickly to any problems or changes. The system sends a simple email out every week to every church and asks them to fill in their weekly stats. It also knows if they've missed weeks. Then, on the administrative side, there's a nice dashboard showing the statistics across the whole conference or just within subsets of the conference.
