Hi Travis
I would suggest that whatever you use, you specify how you want your DAM system
to connect via data connection, and look hard at responses from suppliers about
what theirs can do.
I would expect suppliers of any new system being procured to be happy to
address how it automates data transfer (e.g does it have an API, what can that
do. what data standards does it use, etc)
It's always handy to ask for examples of sites using such feeds from systems
you are looking at.

All, I am certain this has come up before in bits and pieces, but I am
pulling together some data and I am interested in a couple quick facts
regarding DAM/CMS implementation. If you are willing, can you please let me
know what DAM system your institution is currently using and when it was
implemented, as well as what CMS you are using and when that was set up?
Hopefully, I will be flooded with quick responses. Feel free to respond
off-list.
Thanks!

Hello,
We are looking to streamline our programming registration process and group
tour scheduling processes.
Currently, we have two separate databases; one stores all the group tour
reservations (an Access Database), and another that captures individuals
information for areas such as membership, children's class registrations, adult
program registrations, sponsorships, donations, etc. (Razor's Edge).
For processing group tours, once a tour is booked and placed in our Access
Database, we use our tour calendar in Outlook to put all of the tours online so
that all staff can view the schedules. It would be useful if the tour
information automatically fed a calendar that could be shared by necessary
staff.
In a perfect world, it would make sense that these two databases worked
together. We find redundant information in both. Also, any information coming
through online is taken and manually inputted in either database.
If anyone has any recommendations for specific software to look at, it would be
much appreciated. You can contact me offline.
Thank you in advance,
Adrienne Romano

Hi Adrienne:
I responded to the public group too, as this might benefit all. We
migrated from Blackbaud Raiser's Edge 7 Hosted to Blackbaud Altru (which
is a web-based SaaS), and we're now able to do exactly what you need.
Altru is built around your constituent database (for us that was Raiser's
Edge 7), allowing you to book programs, tours, classes, rentals, etc. for
the constituents in your database. All the revenue history for your
constituents lives in Altru, so all the classes, event registrations,
tickets, rentals, membership programs, etc. are automatically attached to
the constituent's record.
Altru has a shared organizational event/program calendar like you would
need, though it doesn't yet sync with Outlook/Google --a big issue for us.
Also worth noting, the Altru Web Forms allow patrons to purchase
tickets/registrations online and have those purchases automatically attach
to their database record --that's a neat feature.
It saves a lot of time not having to duplicate your data entry and keep it
consistent across multiple systems.
