Specialist functionality Business Intelligence Global reach Devices & Media Share Connect Donor Journeys Events Advice & Helpline Telethon Calling Justgiving Integration Income processing Sponsorship Membership Segmentation & Mailing 360 view HMRC Online Gift Aid Social Media Bank Integration DD & SEPA Volunteers Safeguarding clearance checks Website integration Scalable Configuration & Development Deployment
Donor and Member Management Transaction processing Donations in, thank you letters out, gift aid tracked. Members in, membership packs out, renewals and benefits tracked. Graduating students in, newsletters and event invitations out. Applications for funding in, feedback letters out.
This led to Departmental silos of data Slow adoption of new technologies Lack of integration with other business systems and processes Marketing seen as broadcast only
Challenge Within your organisation, is your supporter or member database an authoritative and comprehensive record? Is it just another silo? Does it just help one team? Does the Finance team trust & use the numbers? Do you receive transactions / data from outside of the department? Do you expose your data to other systems? E.g. the website?
The audience today Your role or your department? Finance / HR Fundraising / Membership Information Technology Something else
The role of IT specialists in your organisation Keeping the infrastructure (network and servers) running Helping users to improve their use of systems Helping users to get reports Helping users to segment the data We don t have internal IT support
