In the tech world we live in there are endless options for database management and communication. With this saturated market in mind, it becomes all the more important for parishes to choose software that is built by Catholics and for Catholics, with features that follow Catholic teaching and process. Camino is data management simplified and with the integration of Evangelus, parishes can now track members through their faith journey, target specific groups with beautifully designed messages, and reach out to people who are seeking the truth of the Gospel. Forget the old days of reports that crash halfway through or having to put important Catholic information into a generic notes field, Camino is everything you need and nothing you don't.

Technology is an important reality in managing a parish and a diocese today, but it is more than simply keeping track of names and addresses. Your parish staffs need a system that is easy to use, intuitive and designed by and for Catholics so the information is complete and correct and can be reported and consolidated for the parish and the diocesan leaders.

Day 2: Session 5:An Approach to Mission Support Platforms, Systems that Enable Evangelization and Outreach
With the missionary urgency to bring the Good News to more people, many churches are rethinking their Church Management Systems and how they incorporate new methods to effectively reach out to and evangelize more individuals. The Church Management Software industry is going through a tumultuous period of company acquisitions and consolidations, sometimes bringing to market cobbled together, dissimilar, and non-integrated offerings. Churches are futilely looking for the “perfect tool” to define their strategies and hopefully deliver everything they need. The reality of this is that the “perfect tool” does not exist. And expecting the “tool” to effectively define your Church Management Systems strategy is a recipe for failure.
During this presentation we will explore an architectural approach to building an effective Church Management System. We will step through defining system requirements as well as establishing non-negotiable architectural principles. These become the foundation to defining to proper solution. We will show a sample logical architecture model enabling effective church member management and evangelization outreach at scale.
