We were pleased by the first WINPACCS seminar held in Spanish.

In November 2011, the participants of the training in Managua, Nicaragua learned the confident and efficient use of the different WINPACCS suite modules.

Also in 2012, we would like to offer further seminars in Spanish to prepare staff in using WINPACCS efficiently. The next date for a Spanish training course will be posted soon here.

The Institute for youth development KULT is registered in Bosnia-Herzegovina since 2002. KULT is focussing on youth work and youth policy in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The organisation provides advisory and financial support and advocates local youth issues on governmental level. It is also a certified training institution in the youth sector, reaching out to government and civil society actors.

For a professional financial management KULT will introduce WINPACCS^® software. The big advantage is the flexible reporting that can be adjusted to the requirements of different donors. Following the initial training in November, WINPACCS^® is to be introduced still in December 2011.

This years WINPACCS^® symposium, the valued event around the topic of IT systems for development cooperation, stirred big excitement with the presentation of WINPACCS^® online, the new platform for the WINPACCS^® system. The diverse functions of WINPACCS^® online capture for the first time the main business processes of international aid organisations.

“Sharing Competence“ was the topic that brought together participants from 14 large and small aid organisations from all over Germany. Diverse workshops and space for mutual exchange provided opportunity to learn more about the possibilities and innovations in using WINPACCS^®:

Highlights were the open live presentations introducing current WINPACCS^® software projects, inviting the participants’ direct questions and feedback to the developers.

You can find a report in detail about the Symposium 2011 here.

WINPACCS^® online is the new term for a substantial expansion of the WINPACCS^® server. The web based application WINPACCS^® online is a software-on-demand solution, which can be configured and individually adapted to the clients needs.
WINPACCS^® online integrates the former WINPACCS^® manager, WINPACCS^® integration and WINPACCS^® communication, which will cease to be stand alone products.
