 Trainer Visibility Vision Mission Aim  Some, but not many  Training on the Information Profile  Importance of correct contact information  Useful requests to training and connection bounce back because trainer information is out of date  When people are registering for training courses this will become even more important

 Provide online registration for trainings  Support trainers without merchant accounts  Allow multiple trainers to co-lead a training  Provide roster and payment information to the trainer with places to record communication  Allow the students to see trainings for which they have registered  Import online transaction information into QuickBooks  Projected Launch date Fall 2009, or sooner.

 Working address in both fields  Change user name to full name so people will connect with a person, not a number  Vision, Mission and Aim statements  Public Location Information  The location section complete with postal code information

 Management tool for requests to CNVC for trainings  Replacing current system, bringing it in house  Providing for many trainers and many schedulers to work together.  Providing ease for all involved.

 Good news: Performance concerns addressed in Drupal 6 by dropping offending parts (modules).  A lot of the things that don’t quite work in Drupal 5 work better in Drupal 6.  Bad news: Our site is built with the discontinued modules and will require careful analysis and planning to replace functionality.

 It will cost in the neighborhood of $6,000 to upgrade, and things will get a lot better allowing us to go forward.  New hosting will allow superior management.  We have a new Drupal support relationship from within the NVC Community.

 Thanks to Microsoft and Tech Soup, we now have $6,000 worth of software we acquired for less than $600.  Small Business Server provides world class tools to aid our mission and overcome current stress in our operation.  Currently planning to install and test tools to: Maintain knowledge in Ease maintenance of on site computers Intranet Services to organize and manage projects and information Set the stage for integrated databases

 World-Wide Affordable Voice to Voice Connection system providing better service and less cost is now available  Blogging is now open to all on the web site.  Being used to ask questions and share experiences.  It is an opportunity for trainers to create relationships with web site visitors  NVC Messenger Instant Messaging is in development and welcoming test users  People can see each other  Engage in conversations  Form groups  Participate in ongoing group discussions.

 CNVC Office has compelling need for an Intranet.  CNVC needs Trust Fund Accounting to enable serious gifting.  CNVC needs a system that integrates accounting, fundraising, internet and intranet services.  Online bookstore to increase purchases and create ease.
