Selecting and implementing technology can be a daunting task for philanthropy operations professionals. Here at BWF, we can help you sort through the available solutions to find the right fit for your organization and make the nonprofit CRM consulting and conversion process simple.
BWF’s CRM Analysis Process
Our team takes the following steps to ensure a smooth technology transition:
1. Setting a timeline
There is rarely an “ideal” time to conduct a CRM conversion. However, the BWF team can assess your unique situation with you to determine if there is a specific timeframe that would work for your organization or if the time is simply now.
2. Assessing your nonprofit’s CRM needs
Through conversations and data gathering, we work with your organization to identify the core requirements for any new technology platform to ensure it fits well within your existing ecosystem.
3. Determining the best CRM solution for your nonprofit
We offer expertise in the following platforms:
- Blackbaud CRM
- Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT
- Salesforce
- Microsoft Dynamics
- Abila Millennium
- Ellucian Advance
- Ellucian CRM
- Ellucian Banner
We assess the unique features of each platform against your nonprofit’s requirements to make informed recommendations.
4. Supporting your team through the implementation process
From internal readiness to design and data mapping, training, and change management, BWF has the expertise to guide you through the selection and implementation process to ensure daily operations continue while your project progresses.
As an objective third party staffed by experienced practitioners, we’ll help you make the right implementation decisions based on best practices and organizational needs while acting as an advocate for your organization throughout the project.
