Event Registration Processing and Existing Systems Integration
- Keith Stiles (Apr 27, 2011)
Online event registration software provides fast and affordable solutions to businesses across a broad spectrum of industries. The resulting technology is in high demand thanks to its easily accessible interface, turn-key systems and flexible ways of serving customer needs. As the need for online event registration software has grown so too has the necessity of merging the technology with existing practices.
The number of different industries using Web-based registration services is as vast as the number of registration software solutions out there, each offering a unique approach to the common need within specific industries.
Services range from scheduling events and allowing customers to pay for seminars online to selling tickets to an event, or coordinating hundreds of conference attendees and tracking feedback from event questionnaires.
The possibilities seem endless once a company begins utilizing online event registration, and then the challenge becomes integrating this technology into the company's procedures; in other words, how to make it work in a practical day-to-day way.
Simply utilizing a registration solution does not mean that the new technology is automatically integrated into existing company processes. A good bet is to find a solution that has built-in integration tools that will help merge the new registration processes with the business processes already in place.
The Online Registration Center, provided by Biznet Internet Services, offers integration tools ranging from Web-service data synchronization, to full blown lead retrieval and RFID badge systems. A company may be using an outdated method of backing up data files, but may find an easy solution with a registration solution service.
It's worth investigating the registration solutions available to find the best fit for a particular organization and its functional needs. For example, a small college may need one type of registration and reporting while a large industrial corporation may need a much more complex system of synchronization and managing data.
The Online Registration Center provides the following integration tools that have helped organizations including Adobe Software, Intuit Software, Stanford University, Duke University, United State Department of Defense and United States Army, with the integration of registration processing and their existing systems:
Online Registration Data Synchronization
Live Web-Services
Automatic Registration Data Exports
ODBC Registration Data Synchronization
Customer Feedback Requests / Surveys
Financial Systems
Customer/Employee Communication
Integrated Lead Retrieval Systems
With a bit of planning and research these and many other online tools can dramatically improve a company's capacity for managing online registration events, conducting follow up and measuring results. Taking time to research the tools available that allow for the seamless integration of new and existing business processes is well worth the investment.

"The Online Registration Center has so many useful and unique features, including on-line course evaluation and statistical analysis, waiting list management, certificates of completion, and customizable registration screens. I haven't seen these features in any other on-line training admin tool."
