The world is leaving the industrial age of the 19th and 20th centuries where service was delivered by hand from one person to another. Service in the 21st century will be delivered electronically.

In the industrial age, lighthouses showed the way to harbor and were a symbol of safety.

Today, handheld GPS devices have replaced them and even a common cell phone can signal where one is better than any lighthouse. Service Transformation in action.

Service Transformation is moving from the manual delivery of services by soccer organizations to using advanced electronic media and enhanced communications.

Transform how you provide services -- dramatically improve customer satisfaction while reducing cost.

Unlock the power of the Internet to transform services and enhance your web presence for state and local soccer offices through the use of interactive, web delivered forms, newsletters and programs

A whole new generation of “team or groupware” programs from Microsoft, Adobe and independent developers are pushing the limits on what can be done to provide better communications at a lower cost, increase the speed and decrease the cost of providing basic services such as

Tournaments have become a major source of funding for many organizations. You can transform how you provide services for your tournament by using one of the automated tournament entry and tracking systems.

The system can be as simple as an online registration system that collects entry information and accepts credit cards to a full featured system that schedules game, tracks fields and publishes schedules and standings to your website.

The choice of system depends on the complexity of the tournament and the size of your budget

Page 13: Service Transformation

Service Transformation13

This is an example of a basic system that provides support for online registration and payment and allows basic reporting.

To create a schedule, data can be exported to software such as Excel for manipulation and the resultant schedules can be imported for publication to the web.

Online forms allow the collection of all needed data from those wishing to enter. The system can automatically send email

confirmation.

Page 14: Service Transformation

Tournament systems allow for the collections of entries, payment of fees and automated replies.

They can also provide tools to manage the entries and automate the management of

the tournament data.

Once an application is entered, the tournament

organizers are able to pull a variety of reports to allow

them to manage entries and print reports

field status information system

Each League, Club or Team within an association can be assigned a password. Once they have this information they will be able to log into the Field Status Admin Section of your web page.

Clubs or leagues will the have the opportunity to update their field conditions by choosing their names from a drop down menu and entering their provided password.

An additional comments box is included, which allows posting an associated message. The system displays the time the last update was made. A weather channel image can also be added to the view field display which can provide your members with even more weather related information.

Player registration software has been available for the past decade or more. The software has evolved from simple database applications that allowed the input of player information to create rosters and other simple reports.

A new generation of more advanced applications are hitting the market. The new software systems are providing far more features and introducing player and volunteer management functionality.

From online risk management to centralized approval of transfers, adds, drops and other functions, the new software helps eliminate forms and manual approval and allows easy enforcement of player and team rules.

Online processing and centralized data storage are eliminating paper and the traditional delay of data submission to the state office.

Internet Based Registration Systems Manage Pass And Roster Printing.

For State Associations That Print Passes At State Office “Workflow” sends teams from club to state office. Approval and Print Queues -- Organizes and manages pass and

roster printing. Reduces turnaround time for the club.

New Policies are always needed. The membership will always find creative ways to get around

existing policies. Creates the need for new and refined policies. Make sure your system can react quickly.

Internet systems are centrally managed. Policies can be added/changed in one place. No need for conversions or upgrades by club personnel. Very fast turnaround time.

Is your current Risk Management or KidSafe program a long line of paper and fax trails costing your organization time and money?

Imagine the benefits if your members could apply for their risk management certificates online in a matter of minutes and your office did not have to do any data entry.

New online systems allow you to transform your whole volunteer background checks.

e-Risk

Management/Safe Kids System

` e-Risk Management/Safe Kids Application System allows you to provide online certification for your organization's Risk Management and/or KidSafe Program.

The e-Risk system was developed by Hammerhead Communications and is used by a number of state associations across the country.

volunteer background checks

http://www.hammerhead.net/SafeKids/

Page 32: Service Transformation

Service Transformation32

Here’s How the System Works: A user visits your web site and clicks on your Risk Management link. Once there, users select your Online Risk Management Certification link and, after a few simple prequalifying questions, are referred to either the  New Certification or Recertification online form. 

Once the user completes the form and clicks submit, the form data automatically populates an online database (where you and your staff will have password protected access to review and edit each entry) – then users are given a temporary certificate form (clearly stamped with your organization’s official Risk Management Certificate), which is good for 30 days.

volunteer background checks

http://www.hammerhead.net/SafeKids/

The user then simply prints the temporary certificate and agrees to any special terms by signing the printed page. 

Don't want to provide a 30 day temporary certificate? No problem, your online database system may bypass the temporary clearance feature and simply collect the users personal information. 

Page 33: Service Transformation

Service Transformation33

Your office, utilizing the easy to use Microsoft Access database that has been populated online, then may review the data the person submitted, run any/all background checks (see below). 

Or, you can also add a card printing feature to your online Access Database that would allow you and your staff to print the certificate cards directly out of your online Access Database. Plus, since the data is stored in Access (MDB) format, you can export the data into any Excel or database utility (FoxPro, Dbase or even another Access Database).

The system can also be set-up to automatically email people when their certificates are expiring.

Certificates for Your Members - Integrated Background Checking Feature

The e-Risk Managament System is that easy. Your members get instant 30 day temporary certificates and your office staff has everything you need in a nice, compact online database (and no data entry) to run all the appropriate legal and background checks to generate actual Risk Management Certificates.

The data that will be stored in your online RM database can then be used to run background checks using our unique built-in Background Screening Feature through Intellicorp. Our integrated background checking feature is easy to use and helps make sure you don't run background checks more than once on the same person within a specified time frame. The reports are posted within days on a secure website - you can then easily add anyone who doesn't pass the background test into a disqualified list so they cannot attain future clearance or certificates.

Transform how you provide services by using online polls and surveys to find out what you members think about your programs and events.

Online, interactive software systems make it easy for an association to have feedback on programs such as coaching education, referee training, Olympic Development Programs, State Tournaments and more.

Direct feedback from participants allows the state association to transform services to better meet the needs of the partipants.

Systems can be as simple as the forms built into FrontPage to the more complex system described on the following slides.

Scenario: Your association probably conducts coaching certification programs. With one of our custom systems, you could first allow your members to register online for the coaching course

After the users have registered and attended the course, you could use an e-Survey to allow the attendees to evaluate the clinician or conduct an e-test to grade the participants.

In either case, the results would be captured in a secure online database and tabulated to produce average ratings for a clinician or test scores for an attendee.

But this is just one example. Since our e-Survey and Test Systems are custom developed for each and every project, we can create a system to conduct a survey about any of your programs or even test aspiring referees to see how well they know the rules of the game. The practical uses are endless.

Electronic calendars provide an inexpensive way to share information on the scheduling of state programs and events.

Electronic calendars provide a quick and convenient method of communicating changes such as the time, location or date of an event.

Adding updated information to a website is much quicker than having to update and mail printed materials.

New calendar systems allow users to enter and update their calendar information for review by the association before posting.

You simply go to a password protected page on your web site and enter in events (see illustration at right). Once you enter the event(s), the system then automatically displays all the events on the main calendar page of your association's web site and also displays the appropriate events on program specific pages.

For example, if you enter an ODP Training date, that event will automatically appear (sorted by date of event) on your main calendar AND on the ODP calendar web page. Thus, your ODP page will only contain events specific to your Olympic Development Program.

Page 46: Service Transformation

calendars systems

Program specific calendars work great for Coaching Clinics, State Cup events, Referee Courses and/or any other program-specific events.

Additionally, you easily have the ability to edit (dates/times often change for events) or even delete any event (a great feature when an event is canceled).

Need to cancel an event at midnight on a Saturday night? No problem - with the e-Calendar System you simply go to your web site and cancel or change the details for the event - the changes you make automatically appear in real-time on your web site. You do not need to have any knowledge of web site design or html coding

electronic fill-in forms

Fill-in forms are an appreciate convenience for today’s team and club administrators who often do not own a typewrite and have to fill in forms by hand.

Fill-ins also help administrators and staff who process forms to increase accuracy by not having to “decipher” cryptic handwriting. Electronic forms submitted by email can be “cut” and pasted in to other applications reducing manual retyping.

Adding updated information to a electronic form is much quicker than having to update and mail printed materials.

Version 7.0 of Acrobat Writer due out this spring will allow automatic collection of date from within a fill in form.

Online travel forms can be an easy way to reduce cost by automating “Permission to Travel”, “Application to Host” and “Guest Player” forms.

Automation provides enhanced service to members by reducing the time, complexity and expense of completing routine forms to facilitate the orderly play of the game.

Adding updated information to a electronic form is much quicker than having to update and mail printed materials. Electronic forms are always up to date and current and easy to change as conditions change.

Electronic travel can be accomplished by using online database programming or by using electronic fill in forms. Both save time and money.

The most widely used electronic travel system is the e-Travel system from Hammerhead Communications.

Is your office deluged with last minute requests for Guest Player Roster Forms or Permission to Travel Forms – or other tournament/travel related forms? The Soccer e-Travel system can help you and your members save time and money.                                                    The ultra-secure Soccer e-travel System, a unique online database developed by the programmers at Hammerhead Communications, allows your members the ability to attain instantly approved travel permission forms without leaving their computer, calling your office or taking a

long drive to your association’s office.

Page 60: Service Transformation

Service Transformation60

A user visits your web site and clicks on the e-Travel logo. Once there, users can select the form(s) they need and complete the forms online.

Once the user clicks submit, the form data automatically populates an online database (where you and your staff will have password protected access to view and edit any entry) – then users are given an approved result form (stamped with your organization’s official mark/logo).

The user then simply prints the form(s), agrees to the terms by signing the printed page and provides the forms to the tournament/event to which he/she is attending. 

It’s that easy… Your members get instantly approved forms and your office staff is free to focus on other responsibilities

Soccer e-Travel System Features: Custom Developed for Each Organization. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Technology used for optimum security. When a user needs to complete a form a second time, previous data is stored and automatically populates the form. Users are then able to edit the form as needed (perhaps they have moved) and resubmit the form. Through special programming, users cannot bookmark a result form. Users must complete a form (and record an entry in your online database) each time he/she needs a permission form. A well organized password protected administrative section allows you and your staffs to view, edit, delete and reproduce any user’s form in your system. .

The Kentucky Youth Soccer eTravel System was developed by volunteer board members using their knowledge of database programming and web design. It does not require anything more than a copy of a PHP editor and a website that supports databases. Total cost to the association was less than $50 to implement with NO ongoing costs.

Kentucky Youth Soccer allows teams to give “Notification of Intent to Travel” in lieu of the old “Travel Application” process and “Notification of Intent to Host Game” in lieu of the Hosting Form for friendly games.

The OLD paper forms are available for those who wish to use them online as eForms.

Most teams chose the 24/365 online “Notification” system as it is easy, readily available and immediate. The state prefers it as it eliminates time, paperwork and hassle for staff and volunteers.

To get a signed in stamped travel or host form, the user simply has to go to the eTravel form, fill it out and click on the button at the bottom of the form.

What could be EASIER?

Each time an eTravel form is completed, three things happen:

1. An Email is sent to the members of the state board of directors AND the state office staff.

2. An Email is sent to the person requesting travel action and an email to the state board of directors.

3. An eTravel form is generated that can be printed out by the requesting person AND by any state board member or staff member by clicking on the link in the email message.

Page 66: Service Transformation

The action is AUTOMATIC and ELECTRONIC – no paper unless one chooses to print and zero delay time.

By clicking on the link in the email, recipient see an approved document on their screen which they can print out if they wish.

Why does it work? People do not cheat when they know everyone is going to immediately see what they are doing.

When some one does, they get caught and immediate corrective action is taken.

Far more secure than the old paper method where forms moved slowly through the mail or hand delivery.

Today, Olympic Development Program management is largely paper shuffling and lots and lots of copies.

Forms and checks have to be handled for each step in the process.

Communication is difficult and miscommunication risks are high.

New software systems can transform the management of an Olympic Development Program by dramatically reducing paperwork and increasing the ease of communication.

Take the Hassle Out of ODP

Player Management   The e-ODP Registration System takes all the work involved with ODP Player Registration out of your hands, by allowing players to automatically register for tryouts, select payment choices and receive confirmation, and by giving you the means to effectively manage and communicate with your registered ODP players.

Here’s how the System works:

Players (or parents of players) interested in signing up for your Olympic Development Program would go to an online tryout registration form on your web site.

The registration form would capture all of the important registration information your state association requires, including payment information.

Each system is set up to accept payment by check or credit card.

Here’s how the System works:

Once registrants have successfully submitted all of the pertinent registration information, their entry is recorded in an online Microsoft Access Database, which is hosted on Hammerhead Communications' secure server.

Registrants will receive a confirmation page with a unique confirmation number and any other important instructions, including where to send their check (if they selected that payment option). Confirmation also will be emailed automatically to the registrant's email address.

The Admin Control Center (which would be password protected on a secure server in an actual system) shows you all the tools you are provided with to manage your ODP player registrations. Using the tools below, you can view/delete registrations, advance players to

different teams within ODP (such as State Pool, State Team, Regional Team, etc.) and have those results automatically published on your web site,

communicate with the ODP players from different teams and age groups by email,

view unpaid registrants, receive payments (and record check or authorization numbers),

find registrants by confirmation numbers, add/remove the age groups available in the system (great for setting up new ODP seasons), and much, much more.

You can even download the actual database file (a Microsoft Access file) and manage the data offline.
