As most folks in my life know, my position at Blackbaud was eliminated when the company decided to “sunset” Common Ground , the product I was working on. These are projects where I’ll be using my knowledge and love of Force.com to help organizations make the world a better place. Why all the change?

The company who is making it most difficult for me to break the connection with a desktop computer? Then you can sync the photos back to the device nicely organized with a fresh slate in the camera roll. Organizing the camera roll without a computer is a mess. One week later, I still haven’t touched my MacBook.

The organization I helped found as Colorectal Cancer Coalition in 2005 officially became Fight Colorectal Cancer on Monday, March 6, 2011. However, a small organization with a small budget can make some pretty big changes. She really understood the organizations. Absolutely positively not! Why did we do this? She got it.

I’m getting a little tired of companies that should know better using the word “beta&# to mean “we’re not responsible.&#. As the person in my organization who distributes these files, it’s embarrassing. Google, take the silly “beta&# off of Gmail already. And Adobe, this rant’s for you.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great for other organizations. If a company is trying to land that $500K deal, Chatter can help the sales rep gather intelligence to make it happen. Folks who care about us also care about 1000 other things and other organizations. I wasn't enthused about Chatter from the start.

Professional stuff: I am Vice President of Operations of C3: Colorectal Cancer Coalition , a colorectal cancer patient advocacy organization I helped start in 2005. Fantastic organization. My husband is a strategic services consultant for a software company. Sorry if you were expecting something else. Highly recommend.

A company sales person connected with an individual at another company in order to close a deal with the company. If the person at the company left, the deal would remain with the company. A salesperson builds a relationship with the individual at the company they are trying to woo. Lots of possibilities.

There is no bird's eye view for an organization. People in charge of the organization can look across all projects. This is a deal-breaker unless the company tells me I did something wrong: When you add a user to a project, they can create and edit milestones even if they're not a manager on the project. . Confused yet?

One thing I keep hearing over and over again is how frustrating it is to be from a small organization (under $1 million budget) at the NTC. You're sitting there in a session listening to folks who spend as much on a single campaign as your organization's payroll for an entire year. . I'm not kidding. No timeline.

Over a year ago, I wrote a post expressing my frustration in evaluating project management apps for my organization. 50% discount for nonprofit organizations. I know that there are many organizations successfully using Dream Team. I certainly heard about those happy customers every time I expressed our concerns to the company.

This post is part 3 in a series of articles aimed at organizations on Common Ground who need to get excited about what’s next if they decide to stay on the Salesforce platform. Then the organization attaches their gifts to either Appeals, or maybe Events. There are 3 levels to Causeview campaigns.

They shouldn’t be read and organized like a standard inbox handles email messages, which is the way most readers treat RSS feeds. Most of us connected-types had accounts with a web hosting company, and the thought of setting up a MySQL database, uploading a folder via FTP and running a setup script in a browser was no big deal.

Let's say you want to send communication to everyone in your database who has made a donation (maybe even within a certain dollar range) this calendar year to one of two specific purposes and is an individual (as opposed to a corporate/company contact). We're both from small organizations, after all.

My mantra: if it takes longer to keep my tasks organized than it takes to do the tasks, then it's the wrong solution. Both applications are by very tiny companies. I need more than a simple to-do list or just starring my email, less than a full blown GTD system of complex contexts and next actions. RTM is great.
