Shelby Systems has announced that it will be working with the development team from Christ’s Church of the Valley to implement their check-in system. They will also be adding a web based component to their system.
The new system is called Arena, and it will be released generally on January 1, 2007. http://www.arenachms.com/
I have been following the development of the system through Jon Edmiston at CCV and he hinted to me a few months that they were in a deal with an established company, I’m glad it was Shelby.
Here is some information on the system starting first with the announcement last night and then following through the series of updates on the system.
We can finally announce (July 26, 2006)
- Check-in System Part 1: Introduction
- Check-in System Part 2: Requirements
- Check-in System Part 3: Kiosks
- Check-in System Part 4: Cards and Codes
- Check-in System Part 5: Application
Additionally, Tony Dye at Perimeter Church was shown a demonstration of the system last month and liked it: Shelby Demo.
This looks much better than the Shelby Chek-In which looks a lot like, well, Shelby (link thanks to Brett Anderson).
Also, thanks to Jason Powell for kicking Jon back into posting.
Even though we don’t have a ton of details, I’m pretty excited about this. Unfortunately we’ve spent weeks working on Shelby’s Chek-In system. This might explain why Shelby seems to have blown off Chek-In. I’d be more than happy to move to a better system.
