The single greatest challenge for any organization trying to implement a new software system is persuading users to fully embrace it.

We all have stories about the time our church invested resources on a new system but never fully realized its transformational potential, simply because we failed to implement it well. Either it wasn’t setup correctly from a technical standpoint or, most commonly, users didn’t understand its value enough to work through the required change.

Download the Pastoral Health Hero Packet here to learn how you can improve pastoral health ... with your phone!

The first and most significant step is to make sure that EVERY staff person installs the Intulse app on their personal mobile phone and computer. This effectively installs the Church Phone on personal devices so Caller ID will show the church name and number, not personal mobile numbers. This is a subtle but significant change that protects your staff from sharing their personal contact information unnecessarily. When the Intulse app is disabled, the church phone is turned off on their device, allowing your staff to fully unplug. No more ministry related calls or texts coming to personal phones while a staff member is on vacation or spending an evening at home with family. Following a few simple steps will allow you to see transformational change that leads to a more healthy staff . . . and you very well could become a hero!

Download the ChMS Integration Hero Packet to learn how and why you should integrate your phone system with your church management software.

Intulse has worked tirelessly to create a magical integration between your phone system and your church management software. Make that smart phone of yours even smarter by connecting it to your main database. Simply type a contact's name in the search bar and their most up-to-date contact details will be pulled from your integrated software. The church's caller ID details will be displayed, protecting your personal contact information. All calls made through the Intulse app will be logged in the contact's record in your ChMS, allowing staff members to see when the family was last contacted, improving communication within your church network. You'll be a hero when your staff realizes the power and convenience of this integrated system.
