The benefits
of DFBnet
The processes optimized with DFBnet are based on the organizational expertise and experience
of the DFB and its member organizations. They represent German football's best practices.
Standardized procedures eliminate errors and ensure
optimized work processes
. Different
processes can be supported by configuration.
High level of process optimization and security
The DFBnet modules can be run as office applications for the associations, while simultaneous-
ly offering possibilities for
involving clubs
, staff and volunteers via Internet.
Decentralized availability
Data is
saved and maintained only once
and is instantly available to all authorized users at
any time. This avoids double, inconsistent and contradictory entries.
Uniform data management
Data protection and data security are of tremendous importance to DFBnet. DFBnet complies
with the stringent requirements of the German Data Protection Act, which is regarded as one
of the strictest in the world. Access rights are determined by a
sophisticated authorization
system using role-based and organizational criteria
. User administration can be handled
centrally or locally – each restricted to one's own field of responsibility.
High level of data security
DFBnet was developed for users who do not have any IT experience. It is used both
by volun-
tary staff
on county level, who organize amateur competitions in the lowest youth division,
and
by officials from state associations or DFB
.
User-friendliness
Time-consuming and expensive paper-based processes are replaced by
quick electronic pro-
cesses
. The direct connection of the clubs saves costs on club and association level.
Time and cost savings
The DFBnet modules are operated centrally in a professional, high-performance data process-
ing center. DFB-Medien is responsible for the development of the applications, their introduc-
tion and user support. Operation is based on the latest cloud technologies in one of Germany's
most advanced data processing centers
.
Centralized operation
Regular updates and new product versions are installed centrally and immediately available
to all users, without them having to do anything themselves. DFBnet is continuously further
developed to ensure that the
functionality constantly increases
and new technological re-
quirements are taken into account. All affiliated associations benefit from these further de-
velopments.
