Abstract

Administration, Registration, and Information Assistant (ARIA) 3.0 is a full-stack web- application developed to assist the Northern Nevada Music Teachers Association (NNMTA) with numerous music festivals and competitions occurring annually. ARIA’s primary func- tionalities are the following: event creation, event scheduling, event management, user management, document processing, and payment processing. Prior to the creation of ARIA, these functionalities were performed using-paper methods. This approach was tedious, inefficient, and prone to errors. The previous versions of ARIA (1.0/2.0) were developed to address these issues using the WordPress platform and WordPress plugins. While successful, new business requirements proposed by NNMTA have demonstrated that WordPress may not be a feasible software platform for all of NNMTA’s needs going for- ward. To ensure that ARIA can advance with NNMTA, ARIA 3.0 was developed using an “as-is” and “to-be” design approach. We built a microservice application which supports the implementation of features that NNMTA would like to maintain from previous versions while simultaneously providing a platform suitable for future software requirements. Additionally, new portals built for customers, students, teachers, and administrators aim to improve the user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) by increasing engagement with ARIA through new functionalities, greater access, and greater control over information.
