Each year the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC) has thousands of its members compete for a small number of very prestigious awards. The paperwork would pile up and after an arduous process a winner would be selected. Earlier this year, the ASMC had decided enough was enough and sought a vendor to deliver a customized awards management solution.
vOfficeware, Inc was selected to develop this web application. The requirements were stringent: the system must support an unlimited number of fields and must be customizable by non-technical staff. The thought was perplexing, the ASMC was requesting technology that would allow a user to create a custom database of award nominations without knowing anything about database technology. vOfficeware’s engineers worked around the clock to deliver a solution that masqueraded all aspects that the end user was in fact building their own database. With an intuitive interface, ASMC personnel can create their own nomination forms as they used to do in Microsoft Word — but now have them become full fledged databases to track nominations all the way up to award selection.
The ASMC will present this awards system during its annual conference at the end of May and soon after nominees, judges and ASMC back-office personnel will access the single system to nominate, vote and honor its nominees.
