Ann Arbor, MI - ParishSOFT, the nation's fastest growing church management software company serving Catholic churches, has partnered with OmniData Corporation of Westlake Village, CA, developers of the Parish Computer System (PCS), officials from both companies announced today.
According to ParishSOFT President and CEO William Pressprich, ParishSOFT will offer its suite of church management software and web solutions to OmniData's customers outside the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and to all new customers. Users of the PCS software programs within the Archdiocese of Los Angeles will continue to receive updates and support from OmniData.
Pressprich said, "Our partnership with Larry McGovern and the OmniData staff will bring a greater offering of church management technology and services to the PCS customers. Together, we look forward to supporting their ministries with unparalleled software and support and smooth transitions for those parishes that choose to switch to ParishSOFT."
Larry McGovern, President of OmniData Corporation said, "We researched many companies as we considered potential partnership opportunities, and we found ParishSOFT's suite of Catholic-based management software to be the most intuitive, affordable, and comprehensive. I am confident that this will be a great partnership for our customers. ParishSOFT has a very high customer satisfaction rate and a proven track record of providing the high level of support and services that our PCS customers have come to expect."
According to Pressprich and McGovern, current users of the PCS products will be invited to join the thousands of parishes that have already made the switch to ParishSOFT. Teams from ParishSOFT and OmniData have worked closely to design a thorough data conversion plan, and ParishSOFT support has studied the operating conventions and inner workings of the PCS Software Programs to help new ParishSOFT users get up and running as quickly as possible.
