How much help?

Hello All,

It really seems like we will need an IT person to possibly help us set up ROCK RMS, but do you think we'll need an IT person on staff or just someone to help us get set up? We want to use it on the back end (database) and front end (website, directory, check-ins, registrations, small groups). For those of you who have an IT person, what have they done in ROCK for you and for those of you who don't (and set it up on your own) what have you been able to implement or what advice do you have? I'd appreciate your opinions. Thank you!

    Hi Mattie!  Welcome!

    It doesn't hurt, and depending on your congregation there may be someone who's technical (and motivated-) enough to get things working along with the help from The RockRMS #Slack channel.

    I'd suggest this: RockRMS works great out of the box with a "champion" on staff (the "Champion" is not unique to RockRMS, and in my mind is a non-negotiable component for any church who wants success not matter which ChMS is chosen).  With dedicated I.T. staff, you can take it further/faster.  Add a developer, and the sky is the limit.  If you don't have the staff, there are folks out there that can help with projects - just ask. :-)
