It is natural to have many concerns before choosing a system like this. We answer the concerns and questions that we gathered from existing as well as intending users over the last many years.
Eclecia is and ERP grade end-end to Church Management software for Catholic Churches. It is
tailor made for the three main Roman Catholic denominations of Latin, Syro Malabar and Syro
Malankara Churches and its subsidiaries. It enables seamless integration of Diocese,
Churches, Foranes/Deaneries, Presbytors, Families, Members, Congregations, Institutions,
Religious, Seminarians, Staff and Volunteers. The program is designed to implement uniform
system across the diocese, minimises paper work, quicker communication and automatic data
processing.
The focus is to provide the benefits of technology that makes church life and Church ministry
more relevant and appealing to the present and next generations.
Eclecia is developed by a team of 12 ardent Catholics who have excelled in their IT
profession and currently engaged in their own profession. The team began its work in 2006
along with a consultation team of over 100 Presbytors, nuns and laity engaged in church
ministry.
The aim is to provide an affordable technology platform to the church to establish a last
mile connectivity with its members as well as bring the benefits of technology in its
management and growth
Eclecia is a cloud based software system. The software and mobile app runs from remote
server. There are no local installations or maintenance required. The system is managed and
controlled using any internet connected device.
Cloud computing offers unparallel benefits. This is where the technology is heading. It is an
imperative - not a choice!
Provided you take care of your credentials (e.g. your password), only you can access those
files. They’re sitting on hard drives on machines in remote, physically secure data centers.
Your connections to access that data are secured so that others can’t access it.
Cloud computing is about connectivity. If connectivity is key, then Cloud Computing is the
imperative - not a choice!
The software, mobile app and its management and control rest with the Diocese Admin. Admin can allow control to the technical team for updates and upgrades.
