CompuSystems, Inc. (CSI) announced its latest service in improving the speed and flexibility of updating event and show organizer databases.

 

“Web services and integration come up in nearly every client and prospect presentation,” according to Chris Williams, CompuSystems’ Senior Vice President of Sales.

 

“I think we’ll integrate our systems with the systems of every association client we have within the next five years. It’s one of the most significant topics in registration at the moment, and I don’t see that changing until it begins to be utilized more widely.”

 

Web services is a software system architecture that allows a seamless and bi-directional exchange data in real time by integrating systems between the company and its clients. The technology allows integration with a variety of systems, including: iMIS, TIMSS, BDMetrics, a2z, TTG, Travel Planners, CyberCafe, and many others.

 

Thanks to web services, all data, whether resident on the association member database or on a registration database, are consistent and up-to-date. “Web services has provided the ability to leverage the collective data, eliminate duplicate data entry, and deliver a truly integrated registration service,” says Paul McCaffray, CompuSystems’ Executive Vice President and COO.

 

“Association clients today are more sophisticated in the way they collect and use data. Integrating systems allows faster membership file updating and a more efficient registration process; web services enables that in real time” said Rob Sarkis, CompuSystems’ CIO and Vice President of Information Technology.

 

Gary Mikola, Director of Exhibitions for the Society of Manufacturing Engineers said, “We had CSI integrate with our EDA data system that collects reports of when a loan is filed to purchase equipment. Then, our ADAPT system compiles that data along with lists of what equipment was bought and by whom. The process makes it easier to approach leads because you know they’ve bought equipment. Then, after each of our shows is over, we can also use the data to make percentage claims on show attendance numbers and other factors.”

 

Results of case studies performed by CSI support the fact that system integration can indeed boost efficiencies. Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) presented CSI with the request to handle registration for its annual conference. HIMSS needed a solution to speed up the validation process, accurately process registration, and ensure members were correctly charged. Their request was met with web services data exchange.
