I am very pleased with the progress and impact the Technology department has made this fiscal year to date. As you know, we have
filled the technology position with Lizzy Page. She has made a positive impact in her short tenure. She will be fully cross-trained as we
progress throughout the year. We continue to strive to provide the resources and solutions to further our mission.
Below is list of some highlighted successful projects directly impacting our mission.
TALENT UPLOAD
We developed an online form and tracking system to allow clubs that are registered to compete in talent competitions on stage to upload
their music and provide details about their performance that will assist the production department. The project provides sponsors
an easy way to provide details about the on-stage performance prior to arriving at the convention. Production staff will come better
prepared for the needs of each club’s performance.
BETA SHOP
The most exciting project this year has been the design and development of a new e-commerce site to replace the Beta Shop. The new
design is clean and simple and will appeal to our primary market. In addition to the design, the functionality of the site will allow our
sponsors and customers to quickly find the items they need. The new checkout process was streamlined and overall provides a muchimproved
shopping experience. We also improved the backend and processes associated with fulfilling and shipping merchandise orders.
The new beta shop was a great example of a collaborative team effort from
multiple departments. We assembled a design team that lead the direction of how the
new shop looked and functioned. We look forward to the official launch of the new site
shortly before national convention. I have attached some screenshots of the new shop as a
sneak peek into the full release.
