Thanks for this post. We are growing really fast and are working on upgrading our wireless setup (which was great to begin with) to keep up with that growth. We have two access points that are N Business Grade but have noticed we need to upgrade that. We're are also looking into a login system as well. Right now a select group of members have the password and we log people in. I'm looking at improving this process and streamlining as much as possible. Luckily we have a few very talented IT people who are helping us out but any suggestions on who to get the best system in place would be appreciated.
As for the other stuff: * Membership/Plans accounts We have Part timers, lite members, lite full time (full time hours but at the community table) Full Timers (get a desk, your own space) & Premium (exclusive space, 24/7 access) * Time Tracking - Members sign in and sign out but keep track of their own time (we are looking at installing a simple card swipe system which will also act as their membership card) * Room/Offices reservations - We have two conference areas, 1 private space and 1 casual meeting space with a large screen tv, mac mini and skype. We use a shared google calendar to book Conf Room 1 or Conf Room 2) We also post our open and close times and events for members. All members can give tours so if someone wants a tour we'll post that to the calendar as well so people know someone is stopping by. * Printing - we have two shared B&W laser jets on the server that anyone can print to. We don't charge for that. * Billing - Quickbooks / email invoices * Wi-fi account management - upgrading but two N access points (business grade) with hard lines for a few members. We're looking at installing more ports for people to plug into if they would like to. No login system but we want to add one. We also want to limit devices that our eating up our wireless. Some people have several devices online, computers, ipads,itouches,phones etc. Does anyone limit the amount of devices each person can have on the network? * Collaborative schedules and other applications Google Calendar Thanks again, great post!
