Database Procurement

Dear Nishani,

I'm sure you've got a flood of responses like this. But just so you've got options if you're looking for a web-based solution (which means you have access to your data anywhere you have access to a PC with an internet connection) you might consider WA-Fundraising (www.abattia.com)

The people we work with have been quite sucessful, Abattia's customers have already used WA-Fundraising to raise in excess of £50 million in donations, and claim over £2.5 million in Gift Aid.

Just so you have some options,

Kind regards,

Lawrence

Thank you all for your response!

Associa have a useful impartial Best Practice Guide for choosing the right solution,which may be of use to you.
You can download it from their website at [url]www.associa.co.uk[/url] and click on the best practice area.

Larry is right - there is endless stuff on this forum about which system to choose, the best way to approach the specification and procurement process.

We have a tool available on our website at www.pvsystems.co.uk which explains how we think the procurement process should work - look for the link to a pdf called 'enlightened procurement'

good luck!

Also google "fundraising database" AND Robert Weiner OR Peter Flory They are consultants who have written and presented frequently on this subject.
