January 2008 has seen development of the AHN system shift into high gear. We now have a full working model of the system and are beginning the first of several rounds of extensive in-house testing. Over the next few weeks we will be putting the system through its paces to make sure it can handle the many variables associated with Homestay to our satisfaction. From 1st March we will then begin official system testing with our foundation members to ensure that we can meet their specific regional requirements prior to launch.
The system itself is looking fantastic, and its overall simplicity, flexibility and ease of use have so far exceeded our expectations. Supervisors are able to completely manage every aspect of their homestay operations from any computer with normal internet capabilities. There are fully customisable pages specific to each organisation, with event planning and bulk messaging features built into each Supervisor’s access. Put simply, AHN is not just a great way to coordinate your Homestays, but also a way to own your specified region and control it your way to the best of your ability.
