How Church I.T. Directors Can Be the Hero of Their Finance Team
You're a miracle-worker, but even you can’t solve the challenges of non-integrated solutions that can’t do what the team needs.
When Leonard Bernstein said, “To achieve great things, two things are needed: a PLAN and NOT QUITE ENOUGH TIME,” he was surely talking about churches and switching software.
Especially at the most wonderful AND BUSIEST time of the year.
Right now, you’ve got “not quite enough time” in spades.
But how is a shortage of time a prerequisite to achieving great things? Because it's code for getting efficient.
(Ever notice when we have all the time in the world, we slow down and get less efficient?)
So now...
What about your PLAN? The plan isn’t the doing, it’s the prep that makes the doing more efficient. This is the only kind of "later" that's better than the present.
We've got an idea for planning your most efficient solution upgrade ever...
Question your objections. What is your go-to rationale for putting off planning?
"When everything settles down" |
“No time like the present, a thousand unforeseen circumstances may interrupt you at a future time.” (John Trusler) |
"When we have more time" |
“Einstein said, ‘The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen all at once’ ... but lately it doesn’t seem to be working.” (Unknown) |
"When our current giving contract is up" | |
"After our campaign is over" | We address that here. |
"When we find the PERFECT solution" | We address that here. |
"When we’re prayed up for the disruption and hassle of implementation and training" | We address that here. |
Implementing a new giving system can be relatively quick. Some highly motivated churches fast-track the process in a matter of weeks.
But we suggest putting your plan in place 6 months or more before you’re hoping to launch. You can use that time to accommodate decision-making, manage various deliverables (like red-tape with your current provider) or work around things already on your calendar.
In other words – get the ball rolling now to give yourself some margin and make the process as efficient as possible.

Leaders are often neglected. By nature, they’re not squeaky wheels -- they’re the grease that keeps the wheels running smoothly.
