It feels good to be blogging again. When I accepted the job at Convio, I negotiated that it would be okay for me to blog. You would assume that with other fundraising solutions targeted to the midmarket nonprofit, Common Ground wouldn't be missed. Blackbaud says they're still committed to the Salesforce platform.

Finally, as much as I loved the experience of starting a nonprofit from nearly scratch, my passion is moving me in a different direction. I love nonprofit technology. I love figuring out how to get data in and out of systems and designing technical workflows to meet a nonprofit’s business needs and grow their mission.

There are plenty of reasons to consider Salesforce for your association management.

Most often nonprofits want to capture information from web users. In addition, sometimes nonprofits want to expose data from the CRM to the CMS. Even if they do, it takes developer time to write the code to do the integration, and that may be resources that a nonprofit doesn’t have. What’s involved in this?
