In order to grow your organization, it is critical to have a system that can organize your processes, your people, and your data. The problem we find is that most systems don’t allow for flexibility as you grow and change. The last thing an organization needs is to invest in a software solution that won’t handle future requirements. Salesforce provides a perfect blend of existing features that help us quickly get an organization setup to better facilitate engaging relationships while providing the full flexibility that a custom system provides.
We have been building custom information systems for non-profits and associations for over 15 years. One of our primary considerations on projects is an analysis of total cost of ownership for an organization over the life of the software. This includes looking at security vulnerabilities, training new programmers, and the hours of custom development work needed to continue to build new features in the future. We have found that while Salesforce isn’t the cheapest software solution, it is by far the most powerful and flexible system on the market, and when you consider overall total cost of ownership, many times the investment is worth it.
Salesforce is the largest Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system on the market with over 20% market share. The company has also committed to giving away 1% of the their licenses, 1% of their time and 1% of their profit. This generosity has led them to be the largest donor management software on the market as non-profits can receive 10 free Salesforce licenses (which retail for $18,000/year).
When looking at software to manage your organization, Salesforce is an impressive option to consider for the following reasons:
