We were able to connect tothe internet and log into the system (thedevelopment platform demo mode) as sampleusers. We were able to navigate through many ofthe basic functions and actions with ease.Adding a new student meant a quick double-checkfor previous history. Registering a student wassimple: follow step-by-step prompts to locate anexact Bulletin title from the drop-down menu.Built-in help screens were only a click away. Welearned that scheduling and reporting will beincluded in the system. Judges rating sheets are tobe downloaded, complete with barcoding forefficient processing of ratings after festival.The enrollment process will involve the migrationof the data to the cloud-based system. The dataformat in use now by each area will make adifference in the steps needed for the transitioninto the new system. It will be necessary to fill inmissing gaps. We do expect a learning curve as webegin. It will be exciting to discover together howto connect the past to the future.
