Parks & Rec Departments, Schools, Churches, Civic and Non-Profit Organizations face many challenges as they try to provide quality programs and improved services to their communities while working with limited resources. One way to focus more of the organization's energy towards this end is to automate many of the day to day tasks that are done manually: program registration, scheduling, payment processing, membership management, roster maintenance, cash/money reconciliation and reporting to name a few.

Traditionally, the issue with this has been it is a very expensive undertaking in terms time, money and commitment. A large, up front investment is required for software and hardware. An IT staff must be available for the initial set-up as well as ongoing server and workstation maintenance. There are databases to back up, upgrades to be implemented and patches to be installed. Full-time and seasonal staff must be trained on the new software. If on-line registration and payment is to be offered, a web server is now thrown into the mix and integration work must be done.



The RecDesk Solution

There is no need for a full-time IT/technical staff to manage servers, perform upgrades and backup files or databases. This work is all done for you by RecDesk in a secure and reliable manner. As we add features and improve the application, you automatically get these upgrades the next time you login.

RecDesk was designed with the web in mind. This means that it is easy to use and intuitive. If your staff can buy a book at Amazon© or get directions at MapQuest©, they'll be proficient with RecDesk in no time! (View RecDesk Screenshots Here)
