Software and Mobile App Highlights

Fully Integrated Church Management: Automatic data integration and Networking. Different access levels but One Data, One system and One login window for the entire Diocese, Churches, Departments, Institutions, Congregations and Families. Seamless data processing without compromising data reliability and integrity

Customized for each Diocese: The software is customised for each Diocese and Denomination like their own software. A Diocese can decide what they want and what they don't want in the system. It is implemented independently for each Diocese with their name, logo, domain and unique identity.

Assisted Migration: For Dioceses and Churches who wish to migrate from their existing system to Eclecia, we provide FREE assisted migration support, wherever possible

Step-by-step Implementation: A Diocese can start with the Curia software module and extend to Churches as and when required. Similarly, a Church can also start with the stand-alone Church Module and integrate with co-Churches or with the Diocese at any stage.

Media Platform: The Mobile App and its benefits are designed to ensure members use it regularly. For the Church, the App becomes a much needed last-mile connectivity for real-time communication, during disasters, calamities, rumors and to effectively counter motivated media propaganda.

Real-time Communication: The prevailing weekly church communication has become irrelevant with the advent of real-time communication. Communications are no more memorised but accessed as and when required. This is the paradigm shift with mobile technology. The Church needs to occupy its space there! With built-in Push Notification technology, Diocese or Church can push communication to Families, Family Groups, Students, Presbyters or Everyone instantly

Affordably Priced: Undoubtedly, Eclecia is the lowest priced but the best featured Catholic Church Management Software system today. The SaaS model effectively cut costs drastically for everyone as its operational and maintenance expenses are shared among all participating Churches and Dioceses

Data Automation: True automation with single point data entry. The system provides reliable statistics and information. It has an intelligent data processing system to generate custom reports for quicker and effective management decisions

Assured Continuity: We analyzed, discussed and plugged all the loop holes that led to the failed computerization attempts by many Dioceses. Eclecia is designed to ensure continuity.

Ownership and Control: The system is implemented independently for each Diocese. The server and software control rest with the Diocese Admin who is trained by us to handle the server access, backup as well as regular service monitoring.

Data Security: Cloud systems are the way forward and it is safe as long as the standard operating procedures defined by the industry, are followed. Eclecia follows the SOP as part of its implementation.

Built-in Communication: The Web and Mobile App have facility to Call, SMS, Email and Whatsapp by just touching the relevant button. The Mobile Number/Email ID is loaded in the selected communication app automatically

Work from Anywhere: The entire system is operational from any internet connected device. Users can access it from any where, any time to undertake their assigned tasks quickly.

Digital Archiving: It is easy to archive but difficult to retrieve!. Eclecia has designed its Digital Archiving System for simplified archive as well as quick and easy retrieval. The system is developed in consultation with the heads of Diocesan Archives Department

Scalable Software and App: Technology and devices are changing very fast and we designed Eclecia to keep up with these changes. We designed Eclecia in 2008 but continue to operate on the latest devices and operating systems for millions of users successfully! Technology apart, the needs of a Diocese can also change from time to time. From the early development stage, Eclecia is engineered to add more modules as well as alter existing modules if and when required.

Stable Software: The software system is operating since 2013 smoothly and the team is determined to continue it that way!. It took us over 6 years to analyze, develop, test and certify this system before implementing it in the very fist Diocese

Centralised Support: Quality support is the key for successful running of any Cloud system. Apart from pro-active software monitoring, updates and upgrades, we have a highly qualified team that delivers quick and efficient support. Cloud provides the great advantage of centralised support and management. The Diocese Admin as well as the Eclecia backend team needs to maintain and support just one server for the entire Diocese, remotely.
