"Technology
is USELESS if you cannot
utilize it effectively!"
Chase
Information Systems
is an Information Technology (IT) company that is dedicated to making
technology easy to use as well as affordable! In 2000,
CIS proprietor Colin Chase realized something that that many other IT
companies have not embraced, an idea that came from Microsoft founder
Bill Gates. Mr. Chase's epiphany was that his "programs" were
the true power behind technology. Buying a
computer is like buying a hammer - if you cannot use it properly then
you cannot build anything.
Advancements
come so quickly in the arena of hardware (the physical devices) that it
is hard if not impossible to keep up with it all. Though, in the realm
of the intellectual properties of technology the ideas we now use are
the same that have existed since the creation of COBOL (Common Business
Oriented Language) back in the 1950's - during the era of punch-card programming.
Technology is to aid and abet humankind;
its purpose is to make life easier. This is what "advancements"
are supposed to be about…
Well,
as we all now know, technology often seems to makes life more difficult
due to the constant changes in the physical components (the hardware),
and the constant updates of the software. It seems like you just can't
stay current, or that you constantly need more training. Yet, here's
a little secret, technology doesn't have to be so confusing if
the programming company is truly dedicated to "ease of use."
The problem is that there is a lot of money to be made in having training
seminars, and in writing books, and in constant costly updates. But, non-profit
organizations and small businesses usually cannot afford the expense
of all of this rigmarole. Nor can they afford to have their own IS-department
(a computer department) to create or to customize the programs they either
currently use or that they desire to use.
Yet,
having a custom program built for your company
or organization is like having Microsoft build a computer
program just for you. Of course small companies and non-profit organizations
cannot hire Microsoft, but they can hire Chase Information Systems. CIS
offers pre-packaged software that started out as a "custom"
project and then became a "package" for a specific market (like
the CIS American Legion software which has become a custom Veterans Organization
package, or the CIS YMCA Summer Camp program which has become a Summer
Camp package, etc.). As well, CIS is able
to create new and original custom software to meet your specifications.
Non-profit
organizations
usually have a high turn over rate (yearly or bi-yearly) in their leadership
roles, as do small businesses in their employee ranks, this makes CIS
software an optimum choice in that it is so extremely easy to use.
At Cassadaga Memorial American Legion Post 1280 they can verify that the
CIS software truly is incredibly easy to use, and yet incredibly effective.
From keeping track of all their membership details (like who has paid
their dues and who has not, etc.) to being able to create letters and
labels for targeted groups in their Legion (like veterans from just the
Korean War era, or a letter to just to the current leadership, etc.),
the CIS software does it all. Plus, as the CIS software grows (new
Legions asking for new features to be built), CIS will send these new
features to you for free for up to one year (you could actually be the
new client who asks for a specific new feature to be added).

10
Points to Ponder
| |
|
| 1) |
We
all have information to manage, as that
is the nature of clubs, organizations, and businesses.
|
| 2) |
Managing
information effectively is a key to managing an organization or
company effectively.
|
| 3) |
Knowing
who has paid their dues and who has not paid is critical; equally
important is being able to determine categorical information about
your members like age, or leadership roles, etc.
|
| 4) |
Being
able to generate formal Reports for your leaders or members
is very important (like how many members are affiliated directly with
the club themselves, or how many members are affiliated through a
relative who is a direct member - "membership grouping").
|
| 5) |
Being
able to run off-the-cuff Queries is something that many software
packages do not allow for, or this feature is too confusing to utilize
(for example, how many Female Legionnaires served during the Vietnam
War). CIS builds in this feature eloquently, making it very easy to
use.
|
| 6) |
Being
able to ask for specific features to be built into a software package
is something that you and your organization may never have the chance
to do, UNLESS you purchase a CIS software package.
|
| 7) |
Having
software that is so incredibly easy to use, that yearly leadership
changes do not cause a major ruckus in the office, is an awesome point
to ponder.
|
| 8) |
Imagine
having a software package that does what you want it to do,
instead of what the software company believes you want (or that they
force upon you as a requirement to use their software).
|
| 9) |
Being able to speak directly to the creator of your software program
is often a dream for most users; with CIS this dream can be a reality.
|
| 10) |
Getting
a custom program built for a reasonable fee is what makes CIS
an option for most of their clients. Better yet, getting a pre-packaged
system from CIS is even more valuable as the price often decreases,
while the features usually increase, and everyone comes out a winner!
