Awana Recordkeeping Software Comparison Admin Home | Software | Forms | Parent Guides Updated 10/16/2009 It is our goal to provide you with information so you can make an informed decision when looking at using software for your Awana Club. There are three developers who have provided us with updated information and so we are 'featuring' these three and noting the other two who we are unsure as to the status of their products. Below is a side-by-side comparison of the software products for Awana Recordkeeping. This comparison only showcases some of the features that are available with each of the products. We have tried to list the most important features to clubs. Of course, if we listed all of the features available, this list would go on for pages. We suggest that after comparing the software below, that you visit their web sites and try their evaluation copies of the software and see which package meets the needs for your club. Awana does not support, nor endorse, any software product for recordkeeping. None of these products are affiliated with Awana. Key Features of the software: A.R.K. - Ability to add multiple images to a clubbers information. Allows you to show clubber, family, key moments, etc. in one place. Approved Workman - Ability to work off of a flash drive minimizing concern of computer crashes and losing data. Check-out feature (multi-license) allows individual clubs to record data and then combine the data back into the main (Primary) database. Sections with '-', indicates that we have not confirmed whether the software has this feature. It may have been added, but we have not yet confirmed whether the software has the feature or not.
