New Site Booking System

Did it, really suggest that to you?🤷🏻‍♂️

From what I recall of the first time we all heard about this new system was a 'leak' on another forum from a then serving warden? He/she did sate that the system that was going to be used was a 'pre-loved' booking system and not bought or designed from scratch? Perhaps the current system can't 'talk' to the new one directly? 

This did and still does happen in schools for systems that record different things.

JK merely said there would be people transferring a years worth of bookings I'm not sure if that means manually or not?

I think that he said that there was "an army of volunteers" and that does really infer that that some if not all of the operation was going to be manual, at least to my mind if does.

That is what you intimated,

well I'm not sure, could be people using some sort of IT rather than fully manual but hopefully Jk will clarify soon.

No, you’re not correct there, JV, that’s just your take on it but as this is getting rather silly, I’m not going to explain myself again. Let’s allow the thread to get back on topic.

If you think so

After reading through this thread, I cannot help wondering whether the club's data management is up to it. Can I smell a massive breach of the membership's data coming our way?

Firstly I can assure you there will never be a breach of membership data.

So, apologies if I've confused anyone. To me an army of people is maybe a dozen or so, that could of been written better! I think the idea is to have some volunteers helping the IT dept. to transfer the thousands of bookings, sorting pitch types etc in a timely fashion. Some of it is manual, I'm not privy as I'm not physically involved so I don't need to know details (information security and all that)

There's lots that I'm not entitled to post on a public forum but I'm trying to be informative when I can.

Migration from one database to a new system is a nightmare. I was involved in sorting out the glitches when the IFA company I worked for swapped to a new more sophisticated database. Not recommended for the aged, infirm and those of a nervous disposition.
