Church Dashboard October 11, 2006
Church Dashboard is creating one page that church administrators, pastors or other leaders can view multiple to look at their backend systems, membership reports, content management system, financial reports and any other reporting system that integrates into ChurchDashboard.com. The system will be similiar to Google Personalized Homepage where users can build the reports they would like to see.
The system will allow vendors (Content Management Companies, Church Management Systems, Financial Systems and others) provide secure feeds and eventually editing capability from one login environment. This is a great idea and if you are a Web 2.0 company, something you should look to get involved in. There are already a number of companies signed-up to participate.
