In this webinar, Build Consulting’s panel of experts will be answering the questions you submitted regarding Selecting Nonprofit Software.

Before we get started on the webinar, here are a few housekeeping notes….
Now, a little bit about Community IT and Build Consulting.
We both work exclusively with nonprofit organizations to help them make information technology and information system decisions that support their mission.
We have a collaborative approach, empowering our clients to make informed choices for their organizations.
Community IT is focused on providing outsourced network management and technical support services.
Build Consulting leads in the social good sector by providing three types of services.
We serve as part-time or in interim Chief Information Officers for nonprofits.
We perform business process, technology, and data projects – ranging from strategic assessments and tech roadmaps to system selections and implementations.
And with Build Teams, we provide outsourced data managers with deep Development operations experience and nonprofit CRM expertise.
My name is Peter Mirus, and I’m serving as the moderator and as a panelist for today’s discussion. I co-founded Build three years ago after a 15-year career in marketing, development, and information management for both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors. Over the last three years, a good amount of my client projects have revolved around selecting and implementing – or improving existing -- CRM and ERP systems, including integrations between the two. I’m passionate about helping nonprofit organizations fulfill their mission by leveraging technology, and I’m very happy to be with you today.
I’m happy to welcome two of my colleagues from Build Consulting who, along with myself, will be serving as our panel of experts for today’s session.
We received a number of excellent questions, in advance, from registrants, which we boiled down into ten that we’ll plan on answering during this session. If we have extra time, we’ll take additional live questions from the audience.
This is an informal, collaborative discussion –if you would like a more comprehensive answer to a particular question, or that speaks more directly to your individual situation, please contact us and we’ll be happy to dialogue with you.
This was a question specific to CRM systems, but our answers will largely be applicable to all major system categories.
For the purposes of this webinar, we’re using the terms Request for Proposal and Request for Information interchangeably.
