Organizations that have large membership sizes such as churches that do not have effective systems to track inactive, end up spending money undervingly on inactive members who only show up when they need financial support. 

They hardly attend church, participate or contribute financially to the activities of the church, yet when they need help quickly come in to seek help. These are not genuine members and must be treated as such.

Just write down how much money can be saved annually as a result of blocking the holes.

IT SAVES YOU A LOT OF MONEY SINCE YOU DON’T NEED TO DEVELOP YOUR OWN SOFTWARE

If you want to develop elaborate software like Akwaaba App. it will take you not less than 3 years with a huge investment. It will come with yearly maintenance ( renewing the domain, hosting and security). You need a tech team or developer who can attend to the system anytime there is troubleshoot to ensure the effective running and use of the software.

It’s relatively expensive to acquire a good finger print bio-metric clocking machine and install as compared to the cost of Akwaaba App with all the solutions it offers.

Much as the finger print bio-metric clocking machine is easy to use and offers maximum security, it comes with some challenges which include:

• System failures – the scanner may suffer technical failures and limitations such as power outages, errors and environmental factors. Since the manufacturers may not be around to fix any technical error, sometime it is difficult repair it and there you have to abandon it.
• Exclusions –older people with a history of manual work may struggle to register their worn out finger prints into a system or people who have lost their fingers or hands would be excluded. 

When you sign up for the full suit of the Akwaaba  Why spend a lot of money for a Bio Metric Clocking Machine when you can pay less to have the full suite of the Akwaaba App which comes with an integrated Clocking App virtually for free.

Alternatively, if you choose to use printed attendance sheet/books to manually mark attendance. While this may initially seem less expensive, but if you consider the cumulative cost of printing and the inefficiencies associated with manual attendance clocking is it by far higher than the cost of using the Clocking App integrated in the Akwaaba Software.

Who in his right thinking would waste his time and allow himself to go through avoidable stress?

But why would you waste precious time and undergo the following stressful exercise to manage your membership data?

First, you need to design your membership registration form, then print the forms, give them out to members to fill, collect the filled forms, get a photographer to take passport size pictures of all the members and print them, paste or glue all the pictures one-by-one on the completed forms, file all the completed forms and keep them in a shelve or a drawer or alternatively you might want to re-enter the data into an excel sheet and save it on your computer or external drive. This process might take you weeks and months to gather the data.

One of the major disadvantages of manual data entry and management is that it’s very stressful and time consuming when you are searching for information. You have to lift bulky files back and forth, particularly if what you are searching for is buried under piled up and dusty documents. As if that is not enough, you have to go through the agony of flipping through several leaflets of papers to locate the exact information you are looking for and re-arrange all back as it were.

Again, hard copy data comes with the challenge of going through the same process of registration to update members’ information which have changed after a long while. Also, you need to manually do statistical breakdowns of your membership to know the total number of children, teenagers, young adults, older adults, and the aged, including active and inactive members in your organization.

It is very cumbersome, less secure, stressful and time consuming to mark and manage attendance manually.

Besides, it creates room for cheating the system as some may mark for their absentee friends which may not reflect the true attendance records for the day.

To put together monthly, quarterly or yearly attendance report, you have to go through several attendance sheets and to manually tabulate the days the member was present or absent.

This is why you need the Akwaaba clocking App which is designed to eliminate all the above challenges. 

Once you have registered your members on the software, those with android phones can download the Akwaaba App from Playstore. The App is location sensitive, meaning one can’t clock in if he or she is not at the meeting grounds.

Manual ways of storing documents may seem fast and easy at the start but when your organization start growing, this manual process of managing your documents becomes even more frustrating. In this digital and information age, it is highly necessary to use digital solutions to keep accurate records. Below are a few disadvantages of manual data management and why you must sign up on the Akwaaba Software.

WASTE OF OFFICE SPACE

The biggest downfall to manual storage of document is the amount of space it can take up. At first, it may seem ok with a few documents but as years go by, you will need a lot of space to keep your record. It may reach a point where you would have to destroy old documents to make space for new documents. This is one big headache you don’t need to endure. It also interrupts productivity.

AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING & MISPLACING YOUR DOCUMENTS

Manual management of document is not safe because you have to rely on the one handling the files. There are several ways your documents can be damaged, lost, or misplaced. You can lose your important documents through fire outbreak, flooding, rodents (mice etc) and insects (cockroaches),

WHY YOU MUST ALWAYS CHOOSE CLOUD STORAGE OVER HARD DISK DRIVE STORAGE 

There are several reasons why you should go for a cloud based data storage systems as against hard disk drive storage systems.

Saving your organization’s documents or files on your computer drive, external drive or pendrive may seem cool but it comes  regrets and pains in the end.

So it’s right about time you dump the practice of saving your organization’s data on external hard disks and switch to cloud storage for your data backups.

Below are some useful information about cloud storage and disk storage to help you make informed decision.

BEWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING YOUR DATA IF YOU SETTLE FOR HARD DISK STORAGE SYSTEMS

Your computer or external drive can be stolen or you can crash it and lose your entire document which you have saved for years. This can be very painful. If you are lucky you may recover some documents from a crashed drive but in most cases you may not be able to recover the files. Your information is gone for good.

Let me share my bitter experience with you. A thief broke into my room and made away with my 2TB external drive which almost full with my valuable documents including my wedding pictures, videos, projects and very important documents. Every document I has saved for over past five years vanished.

Each time I remember it, it hurts me so badly. 

Cloud storage is the highly recommended, You can avoid such unfortunate situation from happening to you or your organization by signing up now on the Akwaaba App.

Akwaaba App is a cloud-based software that guarantees constantly backed up of your data; no fears of losing data and no worry about virus attacks etc.

In the past, security was one of the major flaws with cloud storage, as some cloud providers were losing users’ data to hacks. Thankfully today, cloud security has been advanced. Most cloud providers now use encryption which cannot be virtually cracked to protect users’ data.

ALWAYS PUT DATA SECURITY AHEAD OF COST WHEN CHOOSING YOUR DATA STORAGE SYSTEM

For many, their focus is to go for the cheapest storage or backup solution; therefore they seem more attracted to disk drives as their immediate option as against cloud storage which requires a monthly or yearly subscription.

It is highly important not to lose sight of what you are getting in return for the pricing difference. If you lose your external drive, chances are that the warranty may pay the cost of the drive itself but the manufacturer won’t help you recover your valuable files.

There is absolutely no chance that your files can disappear on your cloud storage account.

Cloud providers also give you access to more tools and capabilities such as virtualization, collaboration tools, data protection, and security protocols, and much more.

THE DISCOMFORT AND INCONVENIENCES WITH MANUAL DATA STORAGE SYSTEMS

Manual/Local storage as the name suggests, is a system of storing your files and documents on hard disks or shelve.

It has the advantage of being cheap, easy to use, and the data is always under your control. However, this type of data storage has challenges or shortcomings. 

For example, you could easily lose all your stored data if the physical storage device is lost, malfunctions, or breaks or destroyed by natural disaster. It is impossible to access your data if the storage device is not with you. Besides cannot share the data with any other person in different locations.

Manual or local storage can be quite costly, considering the acquisition and installation of the needed hardware and infrastructure. Local backups of your data can also be destroyed by a major on-site disaster.

In conclusion, it is obvious that cloud-based data storage is far better than manual/local storage; however, your ultimate choice will depend on how you consider the data important to you.

The choice is yours.
