Fellowship Technologies Announces Major Software Update to Fellowship One
IRVING, Texas, Dec. 2, 2009 — Fellowship Technologies is proud to announce the release of the fully redesigned Fellowship One church management software. This is one of Fellowship Technologies' most exciting and ambitious projects to date.
The company has done its utmost to develop a system that far surpasses a mere database for church management; it is a tool for people management helping churches care for their congregations, volunteers and communities. Fellowship Technologies has focused on adapting and developing the newest technologies to meet the needs of the church. The list of impressive projects completed in 2009 include a native iPhone application, and the new Application Programming Interface (API) released in June, but the redesign of the software will undoubtedly be one of the most dramatic and effective changes that Fellowship Technologies has implemented.
The attention to details during the redesign process has resulted in better visibility of information by simplifying common tasks and providing shortcuts for an improved workflow. The culmination of these changes helps to make the software more intuitive and minimizes the need for additional training.
The Fellowship Technologies development team also implemented a new top-down navigation system that includes a "drawer" menu. Instead of a left-side navigation bar that takes up considerable space on the screen, the new menu navigation is a drawer menu that drops down from the top and slides over the page content when in use. Key to the changes required for future revisions of the software, the new menu drawer opens up the sides of the application to eventually display additional information.
Horizontal scrolling has also been eliminated, making it easier to read the pages. Menu items have been grouped more appropriately, and in some cases, renamed to better reflect the action. The home page has also been redesigned for quicker accessibility to individual user's tasks and information. The focus on the user experience and the user interface makes leveraging the software easier for pastors, staff members and volunteers.
Fellowship Technologies provides Fellowship One as a Software as a Service (SaaS). One huge benefit to the SaaS software delivery model is that software upgrades are included for no additional charge and require no action on the part of the church to install them. The newly redesigned interface will be immediately available to all Fellowship One client churches effective Wednesday, December 2, 2009.
