I just dropped a bomb on ACS
ACS is our trusted partner for church management software. I like them a lot, and you’ve likely seen me write about them in the past. I dropped a major bomb on one of their product leaders today, basically an ultimatim.
I don’t like to be the guy giving ultimatims. Nobody likes that guy, and I like being liked. But, I did it. I did it for my church, for your church, and honestly for the Kingdom. If interested, you can read the full email history.
See, the problem is simple. There’s not a way for me to highlight the available serving opportunities to our Web site visitors and enable them to sign up for one. I can show them the opportunities but leave them guessing as to how to actually get involved. I can give three-step instructions of how to sign up. But I can’t make a link directly to the page that has all the opportunities listed out.
So, I dropped a bomb on William, the product lead for AccessACS. I like him. I got to spend some time with him at the convention this year, and he’s a really good guy and a top-notch developer. ACS is fortunate to have him on staff. So, I don’t like giving William an ultimatim, but I felt like it was just that important. Check the full email history if you use AccessACS or are considering it.
In all of this, ACS could dig in their heels and refuse to do anything, but I’ve been working with them for long enough to know that they won’t do that. They listen and respond to their customers, and that’s why I call them our trusted partner in ministry.
