I have been asked a lot lately what the basic requirements should be for a Chruch Management System (ChMS). While there is a fairly extensive list and it depends upon how each ministry is structured, I do have one basic requirement that has to do with the technology itself.
The platform should be either SQL or Oracle. Since Oracle tends to be on the pricy side, then SQL is the way to go. If the date in the ChMS is truly mission critical, it needs to be on a stable platform.
So when shopping for/evaluating a ChMS for your church, you can dramtically narrow the list of possibilities down to a handful with this one requirement.
