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
RecDesk is a 100% web based solution. This means that there is
no expensive upfront investment in hardware or software. All that is required
is a browser and a workstation with internet access. You can access RecDesk
from as many workstations as you'd like, from wherever and whenever it is
convenient.
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
