By CT Mahabharat, Newsbytes. Singapore has long strived to convert itself into a wired island. Ibook offers 24-hour inquiry, booking and payment facilities, for 22 SSC sports centers spread across Singapore. Inquiries and bookings can also be made in person or by telephone.
Customers can gain access to the real-time booking status from across all the centers.
The system developed by NIIT is integrated with Oracle Financials. Data is being stored on the same Oracle 8.0 database as the client-server SFRS launched in April this year. Ibook has made the manual process of maintaining large registers of booking, cancellations and payment records a thing of the past. Electronic forms have replaced paper forms and all the data is easy to access, use and update over computer networks. SSC is now planning to allow credit card payments as the next enhancement to the system.
