Fundraising Database Services
Vive Consulting provides organizations with assistance on a number of different fundraising databases, from GiftWorks to The Raiser’s Edge. We can help you optimize your organization’s use of its database, train staff, or implement a new system.
Example Projects
Database Assessment
So you bought “the Cadillac” of fundraising databases, but are you using it to its fullest capacity? Vive conducts assessments of fundraising databases to ensure that your organization is utilizing functionality efficiently and effectively. We’ll make short, medium, and long range recommendations for improving use of your database.
Database Implementation
Just bought a new system and need help getting it up and running? Contact Vive! We can help you set up your new database and give you custom roadmap for important next steps.
Software Training
Frustrated by companies that conduct trainings with sample data that doesn’t fit your business processes and donor base? Contact Vive about our training services. We’ll use your existing database and we’ll tailor training sessions to best meet your needs.
System Selection
Software as a Service, Cloud Forests, and APIs, oh my! Choosing the right development database can be a daunting process. Vive can help you navigate the waters and select the best system for your organization. We’ll help you define requirements, issue RFPs for vendors, evaluate products against requirements, and select a system.
Interim Database Staffing
Interim Database Administrator services are designed for organizations undergoing a transition of database administrators. The goals of the engagement are to provide your organization with “high level” database assistance to assess your use of technology and create a plan for improvement, as well as to complete critical day-to-day database administration tasks. Vive Consulting provides interim staffing for selected fundraising databases, as well as for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
SharePoint Services
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) and Windows SharePoint Services (WSS), otherwise known as just “SharePoint” for short are incredible tools that can be used to manage your intranet, help your team members collaborate, or even connect with service recipients and donors.
Vive Consulting can help you choose between MOSS and WSS. We can assist with designing and implementing your SharePoint solution, building internal knowledge resources, and training staff.
Website Services
Does your website engage your donors and constituents? Does it follow best practices for web usability and Search Engine Optimization? Vive can conduct an assessment of your website and make recommendations for improvement.
Vive doesn’t offer web design services, though we’d be happy to assist you with finding an appropriate design company.
