The current software does not interface with our current/new technical environment (MS-Exchange and Office, or Google g-mail, calendar, docs, etc.). Or the cost of maintaining current hardware or paying current licensing fees vs. the cost a new system. An inability to hire staff who know how to use or support the database in question.

For an organization like Habitat for Humanity, an application may reveal that one volunteer is a licensed electrician and another volunteer enjoys carpentry as a hobby. Keep all of this important personal information organized and in a secure database. It can increase productivity and speed.

I use Google Docs , Zoho Writer , and Office Web Apps. For years, many nonprofits have preferred web-based CRM databases to managing their own CRMs in-house. For many people, being able to use Google Docs offline would make a huge difference in the viability of Chromebook. Photo: slgckgc , CC license Word processing?

Even simple tools like Google Docs means your organization can report real time data, online, anytime. More databases now have protocols and mechanisms that allow you to pull your data out and publish it online, so your site can always have your most current information, no updating required. You can do it, too!

Forms sent go to email, or a separate database, and someone manually enters that data into the CRM. Depending on the CRM, some require additional license fees for forms or APIs. Another purpose is for membership lists, or group lists, or perhaps live tracking of donations from a specific campaign. The old fashioned form of integration.
