@nimbyist: RT @robert_weiner "Why Excel Isn't a Donor Database" http://t.co/lcP5nXKC #fundraising #smNPchat



@DonorPerfect: @lkafka Welcome to the #smNPchat. Glad you mentioned Excel. Our belief is that any established product is a better alternative to Excel.



@WinGrants: Running late to smNPchat and glad to be here! #smnpchat






@wildwomanfund: @elabuzz really? I found Salesforce's customizability daunting, and no custom donor reports... #smnpchat



@robert_weiner: @lkafka #smnpchat I feel your pain. Good luck!



@wildwomanfund: @TracyMoavero Right on Tracy! Glad you're here! #smnpchat



@TracyMoavero: I recently worked with GiftWorks as a volunteer, and I liked it. Good for small #nonprofits. Easy to use database. #smNPchat

@nimbyist: @claremcdowall Hi Clare! Interesting - why Salesforce? #smNPchat



@wildwomanfund: @claremcdowall Welcome Clare! Thanks for joining us! #smnpchat



@StephMcAulay: @paulTravis46 I'm in love with @eTapestry :) the whole conversion process was pretty smooth! #smNPchat



@WinGrants: A1: I think I've seen a little of everything - Donor Perfect, Gift Works, Raiser's Edge, Salesforce. #smnpchat



@nimbyist: RT @PaulTravis46: Conversion options need to address the various levels of complexity of the data being converted #smNPchat



@WinGrants: @nimbyist Hi Amy - me too! Nice to see you here. #smnpchat



@wildwomanfund: RT @PaulTravis46 Conversion options need to address the various levels of complexity of the data being converted #smnpchat



@wildwomanfund: @mcahalane I totally agree with you. #smnpchat



@mcahalane: @StephMcAulay How much training did it take to get going? #smNPchat



@DonorPerfect: @WomensCtrLans Thanks for joining the #smNPchat. Re: Quickbooks, we are a Gold Certified partner. http://t.co/9KNywuxW



@wildwomanfund: @WinGrants Ooh, you have more experience than me! Which one was your fave? #smnpchat



@elabuzz: @wildwomanfund That's not my experience, tho worked at NPower and learned the ropes from them #smnpchat



@lkafka: @StephMcAulay - is @etapestry cost-effective? my board is very cost conscious #smnpchat



@WinGrants: @wildwomanfund: I've been thinking about chat all morning, then suddenly it was 12:10. I had to scurry to the computer! #smnpchat









@TracyMoavero: @wildwomanfund Thanks! Choosing databases is a little daunting. Have used Raiser's Edge, older DonorPerfect, Access-based ones. #smNPchat



@StephMcAulay: @mcahalane they have training videos for you to watch while your conversion is going on which helps you learn the basics #smNPchat



@nimbyist: What solutions are cost effective? Great Q! >> RT @lkafka: ....my board is very cost conscious #smNPchat



@wildwomanfund: @elabuzz Ah. I didn't have anyone teaching me. It was difficult. even with webinars from @network4good #smnpchat



@PaulTravis46: Check out the eTapestry packages for new pricing. n #smnpchat



@KimberleyCanada: Following while eating Thai at khao san Road. Hands will be busy but reading. #smNPchat



@nimbyist: @claremcdowall A great reason to choose them! #smNPchat



@StephMcAulay: @mcahalane then they have an entire user manual and support online including Best Practices! #smNPchat



@nimbyist: RT @TracyMoavero: Choosing databases is a little daunting. Have used Raisers Edge, older DonorPerfect, Access-based ones. #smNPchat



@joannefritz: NonprofitEasy and GiftWorks recently got good reviews on my site... #smNPchat



@nimbyist: RT @PaulTravis46: Check out the eTapestry packages for new pricing. http://t.co/eE5QJ9LD #smNPchat



@StephMcAulay: @lkafka for us it works but I believe they have different pricing depending on your needs? @PaulTravis46? #smNPchat



@WomensCtrLans: @DonorPerfect Thanks. Will check it out. n #smNPchat



@mcahalane: @StephMcAulay I'm a hands-on learner. Nothing makes sense until it goes through my fingers, lol. #smNPchat



@robert_weiner: 1 key to success w/ any donor db is help - from vendor, consultant, experienced voluntr - w/ setup, bus. rules, reports, training. #smnpchat



@TracyMoavero: @nimbyist GiftWorks is pretty modest, IIRC, and I found it sufficiently customizable (is that a word?) & easy to learn. #smNPchat



@thecauseproject: @nimbyist #smNPchat Does Salesforce have all the features you need? What's missing for you?



@wildwomanfund: @nimbyist there's a good @ntenorg survey from 2009 that goes into pros and cons of each http://t.co/bBX0XsI2 #smnpchat



@joannefritz: If you want to leave a brief review of the system you use the url is http://t.co/7cAzQHjb #smNPchat



@WinGrants: @wildwomanfund Tie btw. Raiser's Edge & Salesforce. I'm w/ a company now that services NPOs & we use Salesforce to log projects. #smnpchat



@StephMcAulay: @mcahalane I'm the same way but am learning quickly and @eTapestry support is always there when you need them. #smNPchat



@wildwomanfund: @KimberleyCanada Ooh Kimberley I know exactly where you are! Nice of you to join us from Thailand! #smnpchat



@lkafka: and simplicity/usability RT @robert_weiner: 1 key 2 success w/any donor db is help w/ setup, bus. rules, reports, training. #smnpchat

@mcahalane: @robert_weiner Great & avail. support makes a huge difference. #smNPchat



@wildwomanfund: Do it! >> RT @joannefritz: If you want to leave a brief review of the system you use the url is http://t.co/EZ694YW0 #smnpchat

@joannefritz: easy to learn and great customer support are the key components of a good systemnIdealware does grt job sorting all the systems #smNPchat



@mcahalane: @wildwomanfund In my small experience, it was powerful, but not easily learned. That was a few yrs back, though #smNPchat



@wildwomanfund: @NTENorg Just wanted to let you know I gave you some link love over on #smNPchat! :)

@WinGrants: @wildwomanfund Yes, lots of reporting options. The downside is the expense. #smnpchat

@Steve_Cast: Hi - I'm the Managing Director at @AdvantageNFP Home of the Fundraiser database, joining my colleague @vasilakosp enjoying chat. #smNPchat



@wildwomanfund: @WinGrants I have heard Raiser's Edge is the most expensive database. Out of reach for a lot of small NPs. #smnpchat



@nimbyist: Welcome! >> RT @SageNonprofit: ...on now. Invited other Sage Tweeps to participate ^PT #smNPchat






@WinGrants: A2: First understand your needs around fundraising and donor management to inform what kind of package will work best for your org #smnpchat

@robert_weiner: @wildwomanfund #smnpchat RE is definitely not the MOST expensive. It's not cheap. But this should not be a lowest-bid decision.



@NTENorg: here's 2011 report http://t.co/5JPNBwfT RT @wildwomanfund: there's a good @ntenorg survey from 2009 that goes into pros and cons #smnpchat



@WinGrants: @wildwomanfund That's the most common complaint. Some may also need tech infrastructure upgrades for it to work. #smnpchat






@StephMcAulay: A2: No longer on the look out but the ability to connect online giving, e-mail and contacts all in one spot #smNPchat



@nimbyist: RT @WinGrants: A2: understand your needs around fundraising, donor mgmt to inform what kind of pkg will work best for your org #smNPchat

@sldoolittle: @wildwomanfund I'm all about the reports. If the database can't query data and make it look visually appealing, I'm grumpy. #smNPchat

@mcahalane: @sldoolittle I'm ok if I can get the right info out - then I'll mess w/ it for the looks. #smNPchat



@wildwomanfund: @sldoolittle Who has visually appealing reports, in your opinion? #smnpchat



@StephMcAulay: @sldoolittle @wildwomanfund - you would love eTapestry then you can query almost every field and even create your own fields #smNPchat

@sldoolittle: Who said they wanted a donor database that could integrate email campaigns? Brilliant! That would be an oh-so-awesome feature. #smNPchat

@robert_weiner: @joannefritz That's what I do, and I have competitors. But I won't tell an org what to do. It has to be yr decision. #smNPchat



@TracyMoavero: @stacydyer Just saw your q. I previously worked for membership orgs w/ big mailings, processing lots of small donations mattered. #smNPchat



@mcahalane: @tannerbacon I should never live on a farm. I hate silos. #smNPchat



@Steve_Cast: @wildwomanfund @mcahalane As a vendor @advantagenfp agrees. Our integration with @Twitter is another example #smnpchat



@KimberleyCanada: Gotta get back. Thanks to vendors who started chatting. Wish #smNPchat was around when I bought first donor mgmt product.






@wildwomanfund: Hard to find brokers without a bias, even I am biased! That's why I like the NTEN report: http://t.co/dJ1uhVAN #smnpchat



@joannefritz: @robert_weiner ok...That seems right...not to tell people but could narrow the choices maybe...who pays? the nonprofit? #smNPchat

@robert_weiner: @nimbyist Just starting out, look at the criteria Idealware used in evaluating systems, see which apply 2 u. #smNPchat



@StephMcAulay: A3: Think about what you REALLY want and need from a database - less time entering data means more time connecting w. donors #smNPchat



@mcahalane: @nimbyist I agree that's important to think about - can a newbie use this? #smNPchat



@WinGrants: @nimbyist Adoptability and user ease is key - can all staff who need to use the system make the switch with ease? #smnpchat



@DonorPerfect: @nimbyist Criteria NPO's should consider are the ability to track key donor info, donations, etc. & the ability to report on it. #smNPchat



@TracyMoavero: When choosing a database, get the input of everyone who would have anything to do with it later. Focus on needs first. #smNPchat



@elabuzz: They should start with planning for their goals and needed features RT @nimbyist: ...Wondering where a newbie would start? #smnpchat
