1. Challenges and barriers

Why did we want to change

▸Our previous database was outdated

▸Couldn’t easily access our data

▸Clunky and time consuming

▸Lots of manual processes, people avoided using the DB if possible

▸Expensive to maintain and update

▸Didn’t integrate with any other system

▸We were getting no where with the database company who couldn’t see why we weren’t happy

Budget

Trustee sign off

Small team

Opportunity to tackle all those frustrations

Step one: Requirements capture and choosing a solution

▸Sat down with each member of the team to go through all the requirements

▸Compiled this into a tender document

▸Planned a tender timetable and sent tender out to approx. 20 agencies

▸Developed a marking criteria to see how responses matched to our requirements

▸Invited 4 to present their system

Step two: Mapping processes

Reviewed all of our processes and where we want to be in 5 years

Step three: Managing the project

▸Requires a project owner within the charity

▸Useful to have a second project support for holidays etc.

▸Weekly calls with Shonet and our web agency to track progress against timeline

▸Issues tracking list which was reviewed each week

▸Cancelled other SRI projects to free up time to manage project

Step five: Testing

▸We used our original requirements to help test the system

▸Created test scenarios to run through the system i.e. two marathon runners want to fundraiser together using virgin Money giving etc.

▸Shonet do an Agile process for testing (iterative process)

Step six: Training

▸Shonet provided training days

▸We created a Salesforce handbook

▸Internal training sessions to ensure everyone was working consistently

3.The solution

4. Benefits and lessons learnt

Benefits

▸We can now access our data efficiently

▸Data is clean

▹ We can run profiles on our supporter base

▸Processes are mapped out and are more efficient

▸Team works better together, more collaborative

▸Opportunity to steward supporters

▸Integrated with other systems (Outlook, Mailchimp, Eventbrite)

▸All our data is in one place – not in excel documents

▸Much more motivated team as they don’t face so many barrier

▸Online fundraising has increased ▹2014-15 £33,302 online donations

▹2015-16 £54,556 online donations (39% increase)

•So much potential for future growth!

Lessons learnt

▸Project owner needs to be very motivated and have a vision of what they want

▸Ensure you are clear about your requirements

▸Involve the team in the process – it utilises their knowledge and buys them into the solution

▸Create capacity within the team – you have to not do something

▸Working with more than one agency adds some complexity

▸If you have no technical experience then find someone you trust to support you on this

▸Don’t get tied into one agency

▸Ensure you look at your business processes and map the solution around these (not the other way around)

▸Estimate the amount of time required for testing * 4

▸Plan for internal training – some team members will be resistant to change

▸Always plan a phase two – almost impossible to know everything you want ahead of using the system

Thank you
