By utilizing your web browser and any Internet connection, you now can access Shelby Systems’ Arena Select church management software in the “cloud” from virtually anywhere. The word cloud is a simple way to describe computing services that are available via the Internet and that allow end‐users instant access to applications and data in real time.

Shelby Systems has partnered with Reviora, which offers Software‐as‐a‐Service (SaaS), to bring a model of applications delivered via the Internet through a Web browser with centrally hosted data. This partnership now provides Shelby customers immediate access to their church, membership and contributions data.

Hosted software means the software is hosted on servers off‐site from your church. We take care of installing and maintaining the program that you can access through a Web browser from anywhere with an Internet connection.

You now can have Shelby’s church management software without the cost of hardware and normal application maintenance, such as upgrades and backups. Shelby’s new Web‐based product is called Arena Select Hosted; and at this time, it is only available with our Arena Select software. More hosted solutions with additional functionality and feature sets are scheduled to be released later this year.

Some of the features included in Shelby’s Arena Select software are: Membership, Health Meter, Groups, Volunteer Tracking, Communications, Check‐In and much more.

With the private cloud from Reviora, your data will be protected physically by enterprise‐class data centers which provide state‐of‐the‐art security systems, including security guards, biometric access and video cameras. Your data will be protected by powerful firewalls, intrusion detection, physical security devices, virtual software and the highest level of locked‐down access available.
