Focus on the Family

The MyFamily program for Focus on the Family (FoTF) consisted of integrating a common data repository, built on SQL Server, with multiple web-based applications. This architecture uses a common access level through Web Services. One particular application is the Profile Manager which allows the user to add, delete, or modify the information that Focus on the Family has on record. This is over a secure (SSL) connection and is accessible only after the user's web credentials are validated. FoTF administration has access to a Profile Manager Administration application that allows them to administer the users' accounts. MyFamily program also has a payment gateway built specifically for communications with their financial institution. This payment gateway takes credit cards or electronic checks as payment for product, subscription or donation over SSL.
