Save Time

Handling the flood of abstract submissions from a call for papers can sometimes be a lesson in controlled chaos. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to get all the management and processing work done while, at the same time, maintaining a high level of support for member and non-member submitters.

Precis can start adding hours back into your day with our automated processing features, detailed reporting, and enhanced communication tools. How to use this extra time is up to you. With any luck, you might start leaving the office on time again.

Custom Registration Development
Every organization is different. We have designed the registration and submission pages with standard, default questions and forms. Upon consultation, we will customize these forms to meet all your information gathering requirements.

Custom Creative Development
Precis allows your organization to design the registration and submission pages to resemble your current site. Select your corporate colors from a palate of 216 web-safe colors. Choose the font you wish to use. Place your corporate logo at the top of the page.

Reporting
Default reporting and customized reporting keep you informed of the status of your abstract processing. Keep tabs on the number of submissions. Find out what's happened today, last week, last month. Make sure your reviewers are keeping pace with grading. If the data is in the system, you can run a report to get the answers you seek.

Fully Automated System
Precis is designed to run on its own. Following the customization and setup process, Precis will utilize the provided data to begin accepting submissions, process submissions, process payments, compile and send to reviewers, process reviewer's grades, and allow data to be prepared for the publisher. But who trusts computers? That's why reports keep you up-to-date on what's going on.

System Email Notifications
Email reminders can be a powerful tool in keeping track of everything that goes on in abstract processing. Notify submitters of upcoming deadlines, keep internal staff aware of key dates and events, warn staff of incomplete sections or errors, remind reviewers of delivery and deadlines. You may use our default copy or you can prepare custom warnings and alerts

Custom Email Notifications
Keep submitters up-to-date on meeting events by sending customized email notices. Changes in deadlines, changes in rules, new categories, new reviewers, anything that your submitters need to know can be communicated through Precis. Hours, days, maybe even weeks can be spent contacting all submitters notifying them of crucial information. Precis can generate and distribute notification emails to all submitters in a matter of minutes.

Preparation and Delivery to Publisher
We do not claim to be experts in publishing. We are, however, experts at data handling. Through Precis, you can sort and arrange all abstracts to match your publishing needs.

Saved Profiles
Every event your organization initiates through Precis is saved as a profile. This profile keeps track of all the customizations performed in the process of building your event. For recurring events, i.e. annual meetings, simply select the profile for the last annual meeting. Why build an event from scratch when you can use the custom features saved from your last meeting?

Access to Database For Future Promotions
The information in the database is fully accessible to your organization. Use this information for direct mail campaigns, mass email promotions, membership leads, almost anything you can think of. The database is sortable and searchable, which allows you complete flexibility in attaining the information you seek.

Mail-in Registration and Payments
For traditionalists, Precis is also designed to accept mail-in submissions and payments. We handle all data entry, quality assurance, and payment processing. Abstract submissions received through the mail will be entered into the same database as online submissions. This means all your data is consistent and housed in one central location.
