The Club have released more details of the new Booking System here
There are still finer details still to be arrived but the link (thanks Harry) sets out how the new system will work.
I have closed the previous thread on when we will get details of the new booking system and opened this one to allow comments specifically on the new system rather than discussing what they might be.

Posted on 12/01/2022 15:55 by young thomasI started in IT in '71 and had been doing exactly what we are discussing for many years after that, before getting into managing the type of third party providers that are being discussed in the Ashridge Farm thread.
none of this is rocket science...whatever the systems and the latest architecture, the premise for data conversion and migration hasn't changed in the 50 years since I first got involved.
Posted on 12/01/2022 16:30 by CornersteadyThe thing is some posters are saying it is easy and/or possible and some not? Perhaps the transfer programs are there?
For me I don't care really, it won't affect me in the slightest having booked all SP.
Posted on 12/01/2022 16:11 by obbernocklePlease excuse my ignorance of the club's personnel. I have no wish to be rude to anyone.
Is your assurance ("I can assure you") given on behalf of the club, or just your personal opinion?

1500 people work for the club so yes just my opinion but then everyone has the same training and we have monthly refreshers to boot, so on that I think the club as a whole takes GDPR and information security very seriously. Every action has a consequence which every employee is very aware of

Data migration, either directly or via another format, relies on the original data being correct or "clean". This often is not the case and well written transfer programs will have the ability for humans to make a judgement to get the error corrected.
As an example, one I encounterd myself this Christmas was the failure of an on-line retailer's software to accept a delivery address from a third party. The third party was quite reasonably sending an initial letter (one character) for my first name, while the recieving software was demanding at least two characters. It would have worked if the initial third party data entry had put a correct gramatical full stop after the initial letter.
Have fun folks!

And it it some form of punishment to go on one of those?
