Why Online Software

versus strictly office based?

Because Church Equip is a web-based tool, all you need is a browser and an internet connection. Your church data is fully secured with none of the worries or headaches that accompany PC based software.

Ten Reasons to opt for an online software

  • Reason 1: No need to download or purchase costly software to set up or access your software. No need to purchase latest operating systems and upgrades. (Remember when Windows 95 arrived? Today we are in Windows 7! Windows Vista is almost forgotten. People dealing with installation only know too well the nightmare in switching OS.
  • Reason 2: No need to employ Software network administrator or software team to install or set up your software. More reliable and far less expensive than setting up your IT department. You have the backing of a whole organization dedicated to just ensuring that your software is up and running 24/7/365.
  • Reason 3: No hardware or disk crashes, no virus or intruder attacks and destruction of data.
  • Reason 4: No theft of data on computers or PCs or laptops. Your data is accessible all the time 24/7/365. Protection from natural calamities (Fire, flood, earthquake etc). Your data is secure offsite and is accessible to authorized staff only. It is also secure and encrypted. Access level privileges allow restriction on access of your sensitive data. Every entry into your system is logged and audited and can be viewed for review (at what time who logged in and from which PC). You have access to years of data which can be reviewed and analyzed. Some of our users have access to over ten years of their data.
Protection from foreign Government intrusions: To keep up with privacy & security concerns and laws affecting different countries, Church Equip data is held on servers in respective countries.
US customers - Data is kept on mirrored servers on US soil.
Canadian customers - Data is kept on mirrored servers on Canadian Soil (Free from Patriot Act and other similar US laws).
European Countries - Data is held on servers in the UK
  • Reason 5: You are not restricted to working from a specific location - specially if you have work to catch up. You can access it from anywhere. If you have an internet connection, you can be connected instantly. Most church activities are conducted after office hours. Pastors / church leaders can even access information on iPods or iPhones. Imagine being on the road and not remembering a member's phone number or his home location. If you have a phone with an internet connection, you can  view any info instantly.
  • Reason 6: You have access to unlimited support 24.7.365 along with a TOLL FREE line.
  • Reason 7: Storage space. You have unlimited storage space. You have a world class Data center with the best hardware and software.
  • Reason 8: You can use a Mac or a PC to view any information. However, as the software is built on MS-SQL, a Microsoft Product, certain browsers (like Seamonkey, Firefox), are not built to handle complex data.
  • Reason 9: Free customizable calendars / Room Booking and Phone directory that can be configured and viewed from your own website.
  • Reason 10: The future is ONLINE. Everything is turning out to be ONLINE. Do not be left behind. Church Equip has been developed as a SAAS model. Software As A Service (SAAS) is the wave of the future.

Why Buy a Web-Based Product?

  • Delivering software over the web is a fairly new concept in the software world. One of the concerns we hear frequently is moving from a "buy one-time" traditional software product to purchasing a web product as a monthly service. Purchasing a service has many advantages over traditional software "ownership" that end up making technology purchases cheaper, faster, more flexible and easier.
  • Lower Your Purchase Cost - Buying a typical software product means you end up paying a large amount up front to buy the product and then upgrade every few years. With a web-based product, you can stretch the cost of the product out over time, preserving valuable cash and not paying any interest that you may encounter with a typical product.
  • Faster Deployment - Since there is nothing to install on any computer, you can be up and running in minutes rather than hours or days with a typical installable software application.
  • Lower Support Costs - With a web based product, you can dramatically lower your costs for support and maintenance over a traditional software products. This means your organization can focus on its "core competency" rather than implementing and maintaining hardware, software, help desk, and other typical IT issues.
  • Guaranteed "Up Time" - Web-based solutions can provide this guarantee because they invest in high-end hardware and operating environments to ensure your application is running and available 24/7. You never have to worry about backups, system crashes, or lost data.
  • Global Accessibility - With a web-based system, your data is always available anywhere you have a web connection. This gives you the flexibility to use your product how you see fit anywhere you need it.
  • Unlimited Scalability - As you grow, your web service grows with you without any service interruptions. All you need is an internet connection.
  • Operating System Independence - No matter if you're Mac or PC based, you can access your service through any standards-compliant web browser.
