67% of nonprofits use a constituent relationship management system (CRM) to track donations and manage supporter communications. Even with the consultant’s help, they had to endure a lengthy implementation period; it was months before the system was set up. Software solutions keep the nonprofit sector in motion.

I found that MediaMonkey , a free music organizer/player, sync tool that I had used with an older MP3 player, will sync my tunes with the Pre. I also installed the Music Player (Remix). But even better is that Palm left the system open for developers to tweak. Usability. I really like the Pre's user interface. Dictionary.

Nonprofits have become intimately familiar with Content Management Systems (CMS). Some, especially those that are very content/document heavy, have become familiar with Document Management Systems (DMS). What they might not be so familiar with are Learning Management Systems (LMS). Learning platforms, of course, are varied.

Of course, all nonprofits already have a CRM (even if it is a spreadsheet) – the issue is, generally, migration to a new system, or integration with what they already have to add new features. In the process of going deep into those CRMs, I’ve been thinking about how nonprofits might choose CRMs to begin with.

Dokuwiki is different in a number of ways, most primarily in that it is one of the wiki systems that stores things in files, not databases.
