I can hardly believe that August is upon us and the start of a new school year is just around the corner! While most educators enjoy planning out their curriculum, setting up their classrooms, welcoming new students, and continuing the learning process, most do not look forward to annual development pushes or serving as a “cashier” as they take checks and registration forms.

That’s why we’ve focused this month’s UNews on how schools can utilize TransactU to simplify both online event registrations and payments, as well as to accept online donations. In this article we’ll share with you how Heritage Preparatory School of Atlanta has benefited from the use of TransactU. We’ll also highlight other ways your school can implement TransactU.

I am also pleased to share with you that Microsoft has once again recognized ServiceU by publishing a case study highlighting the procedures that we employ to maintain a maximum availability of our software tools with minimum downtime. Learn more by clicking here.

Our team recently returned home from the National Association of Christian Business Administrators conference where I got to see so many familiar faces and visit with a number of our friends. It is always so rewarding to hear what a positive impact our products have on your ministries and organizations. All of us at ServiceU are truly honored that you’ve chosen our products.

Of course, I had more than one conversation about EventU Green at NACBA. I’m pleased to say that Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Anaheim, CA continues to receive positive media attention for their efforts to “go green” with EventU Green and other initiatives. Click here to read their profile from Church and Worship Technology. If you’re interested in saving 10-20% OR MORE on your energy bill, I encourage you to read more about EventU Green or give us a call at 866.709.7420 to have all your questions answered.

Even though we just returned from NACBA, we’ll be headed back out to the numerous tradeshows during the fall. If you’re attending MinistryCOM, Innovate, Catalyst or WFX, please stop by our booth and say hello! We’d enjoy connecting with you!

As always, we truly appreciate the opportunity to do business with you.

Sincerely,
Tim
