FLORENCE, SC, July 31, 2006—ACS Technologies® (
www.acstechnologies.com), the leading provider of software for churches, schools and other faith based organizations, today announces that ACS Visitation, a module within its highly successful ACS™ product line, has been renamed ACS Connections. This change reinforces that ACS Connections—a powerful and effective contact management tool used by thousands of churches and denominations nation-wide—offers clients more than one method to monitor personal visits.
“As we planned for the release of our ACS 2006 Edition upgrade, we discovered the words ‘Visitation’ and ‘Visits’ used in our ACS Visitation module didn’t reflect the powerful use of this module,” noted Rebekah Gibbs, Senior Development Coordinator for ACS People and Growth Suites. “We are excited to announce the name change from ACS Visitation to ACS Connections as we believe this better describes the type of personal interactions that can be tracked in this module.”
Among the features that make Connections a truly dynamic tool is its integration with Access ACS™, the Web companion to the ACS desktop software. With the added functionality of Internet-based flexibility, the Connections module has taken on a new dimension of effectiveness. Pastors and visitation teams now have the ability to see their assigned contacts, enter their responses using a laptop, PDA, or home computer and even use the Web to help visitors and new church members find Sunday school classes and small groups.
ACS Technologies’ provision of the Connections module as a Web-friendly technology solution demonstrates its commitment to anticipate the needs of today’s churches. The evolution of this product clearly indicates that ACS Technologies understands the dynamic nature of today’s contact-based ministry and supports the concept that effective ministry begins with many different types of connections and personal interactions.
Additionally, ACS Connections can be used to:
- Assign callers or visitation teams to specific individuals
- Implement multi-step assimilation programs all at once
- Track responses for relevant follow-up
- Provide better accountability for outreach assignments
