I wanted to put a call out there to see if someone would be interested in forming a panel on Museum Registration systems to present at the MCN conference? Here at HealthSpace we encountered many challenges when it came to finding a new Registration Database. We evaluated several products and eventually decided to custom build our own, and what a challenge that was. I m proud to say that it was a rather successful project, but I feel like I have learned SO much from the process and would love to share this information. Also, whenever I talk to cultural institutions, they all seem to be interested in how other institutions are handling this, so it seems like it would be a rather popular topic.
Our Registration Database handles the following: All Education Programming (In-House, Outreach, Distance Learning) All Rentals All Resource Allocation All Contact Information All Financial information (relating to Education & Rentals) We are also building an online registration system that connects directly to the database... I could easily talk about the benefits and challenges with custom building your own system. I would like to find others who have maybe done the same, or who have purchased systems and we can give a complete snapshot of dealing with these types of systems. I would also be happy to server as the Chairperson for this Panel. Please let me know if anyone is interested.
