*"Even as we approach 150 active members, Indy Hall can't be the only place that values a human interaction as the foundation of a transaction. Who else is actively avoiding swipe card systems and looking to introduce efficiency in other ways?"*
Interesting. I don't think of such automated systems in this way at all. For me, even though we don't have such a system, I regard them as a service to members, not a hindrance or lack of human interaction. If I put myself in the position of a space member and I was given a choice between (a) an automated system and (b) the ultimate honor system whereby I am just asked each month to tell the space owner how many days I came in and pay the correct amount, I would chose the former without a doubt. My thinking is... would I rather just get a correct invoice each month and just pay it, or would I rather have to keep my own diary of attendance, worry that I forgot to record a day and bug people about whether than can remember if I was in on day X, and then pay hoping I got it right because I don't want to unintentionally take advantage of my wonderful trusting space owner even if they promise me they don't care? I would MUCH rather have the automated system that takes care of such a trivial thing (even taking the money straight from my bank account if that could be arranged) so I can spend my time and energy on working on projects with other members or playing our pinball machine and the attendance and fees just take care of themselves by me doing nothing more than touching a button as I come in each day! But that's just me, and I understand I often see things differently to others. :-) Marc www.six8bromham.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
