Which CHMS is preferred—a single system or several systems? The better option offers complete church management software. First, let’s review the more in-depth description of features that church software should have. Then, it will be discussed why the program is an all-in-one bundle. The initial portion should have been hidden with the elements of all-inclusive websites for a church software.

Technical support is a feature of an all-in-one church software like IconCMO. It can be perplexing, nevertheless, what the church receives in terms of technical help. There are numerous methods that each software company offers technical service. For example, some church software, such as IconCMO, offers free one-on-one training webinars, email and phone support, and technical assistance. The IconCMO application also has assistance buttons and instructions. On the other hand, some businesses exclusively provide email support. Even worse, many companies are switching to a technical support strategy that only gives phone help and makes users wait more than 24 hours for an email response.

A church’s preference for help will rely on what they consider a suitable turnaround time. In most industry areas, the technical support industry is transitioning to a turnaround time of 2 to 5 days. Although we haven’t yet, we anticipate seeing this in the market for church software. Icon Systems takes excellent satisfaction in its quick turnaround times and has no plans to change that, but we can’t speak for every business.

Software for churches wouldn’t be complete without a membership feature. The cornerstone around which the remainder of the system is built, aside from the accounting component, is membership. For instance, tracking donations is only possible with users logging in. Here are some further models when membership serves as a building block:

Taking attendance
Emailing and texting church members
Forming small groups
Doing other activities

Since membership is the cornerstone of the system’s functionality, the database must be adequately developed from the bottom up.
