NATIONAL BETA CLUB IT STRATEGIC PLAN<br />
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES<br />
The following is a list of initiatives needed to achieve the National Beta Club’s strategic goals.<br />
Onsite convention results entry for coordinators<br />
Create a portal for convention coordinators to record competition results while at convention. The<br />
results will remain offline until they are officially announced from stage.<br />
Event API and database<br />
Develop a standard API to interact with different event types (convention, leadership, camp, etc)<br />
to encapsulate the complexity of each event type. In doing so, the underlying database structure<br />
will need to be changed. This will allow quicker development and deployment for the ever<br />
changing convention/leadership registration requirements.<br />
National / State convention registration<br />
Create new convention registration system utilizing the new Event API. User interface<br />
improvements will also be added during the redo. The current convention admin tools in our<br />
internal system will also need to be updated to utilize the Event API.<br />
Certificate reprint improvements<br />
The certificate reprint process needs to have full visibility for both the sponsors and membership<br />
staff. The initial development was created very quickly without fully defining the needs of both the<br />
sponsors and membership staff. The new process should follow the new membership application<br />
process.<br />
Membership tracker<br />
For a given membership application, provide a clean current status. Depending on payment type,<br />
the status goes from Awaiting Payment, Payment Received, Printing Certificates, Preparing Box to<br />
be Shipped.<br />
Sponsors years of service<br />
In order to begin recognizing sponsors’ years of service again, we need to fully define how years of<br />
service are to be tracked. We must then develop methods in our system to be able to track<br />
sponsors’ years of service across divisions and schools. As such, we will develop something like an<br />
audit trial for each sponsor to gain a complete history of each sponsor’s years of service.<br />
