At PDS, our clients tell the true success stories of how our products affect their day-to-day operations. We are truly dedicated to our client partners and hope that some of the stories told here will inspire and encourage others in successfully using our technology solutions to empower their vision. But don't listen to us - listen to our clients first hand. Their stories of success in using PDS speak volumes:
Offering services in both English and Spanish to 600 families, Faith Pleases God is an active evangelical community of believers that has special needs due to the bilingual parishioners it serves in Harlingen, Texas.
With a $2.5 million dollar annual operating budget and over 1,700 families, Holy Family Catholic Church in Brentwood, Tennessee serves one of the most affluent communities in the country.
With approximately 4,000 registered families, St. Patrick’s is one of the largest Catholic churches in the West. Vonnie Schlimgen, the church’s Coordinator of Census and Finance, has used Parish Data System (PDS) since 1984 at her previous church, and since 1996 at St. Patrick’s.
Ministering to more than 200,000 Catholics in 66,000 different households the Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky actively supports and lifts up the 125 parishes that form its existence.
As technological developments continue to drive and change the way in which we do our business, keeping up with enhancements and upgrades can pose a significant challenge. The Diocese of Buffalo has relied on its well established relationship with ACS Technologies, provider of PDS software solutions for Catholic organizations to ensure a smooth transition.
In an era of digital technology; when most of our society is connected to something electronic such as a laptop, iPod, Blackberry, or a cell phone, one can’t help but consider the invaluable quality of holding something tangible in hand. Actually being able to “turn a page” that isn’t in cyberspace is a medium that tends to hold its own.
Prior to using Parish Data System software, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church was just using a database for printing envelopes and labels—all other parish data was being recorded by hand by Becky Brookman, the church secretary.
The foundation for a strong and steady information management structure within a diocese can be largely reflective of the way that their data is managed. Efficiently operating a diocese and its supporting organizations often requires a unique balance of people with information.
