ACFA’s Moving to the Cloud!!!
Our new, state of the art, web-based (in
the cloud) Central Office computer system is scheduled to be
launched on May 1, 2012. It will
significantly improve efficiency and turn-around time on all
member services.
Software Engineer,
David Rook of Rook Development Group LLC has been working on a
new computer software program for several months.
This new program will
replace our current program and will also be the gateway to our
member portal which is being developed by David.
Once the new
operating system goes 'live', David will begin testing the
member portal applications. As each application of the member
portal goes 'live', our members will be able to go online to
check their member account, renew membership(s), perform online
litter and individual registrations, and submit information for
championship and grand championship confirmations.
We hope to link eClerk in the not too
distant future and are planning for the implementation of
electronic judges’ books and master catalogs as time and money
permit.
