Charity software specialists began trading 15 years ago this month. Still under 
the same management of Robin Fisk and Ben Brett, the company has 160 customers, 
20 staff, sister companies in Holland and Spain, and offer a range of products and
services for the not-for-profit sector.
The company’s anniversary coincides with
a strong showing in this year’s Voluntary Sector IT Survey, published in May’s issue
of Charity Finance magazine.

The survey found that the Progress database, developed and supported by Fisk Brett,
was more popular than that of their nearest competitors. The survey asked 374 organisations
about their approach to IT and the current software they use and revealed that around
85% of users would recommend Progress as a fundraising system compared to around
77% for Donorflex, 75% for Raiser’s Edge, 60% for Visual Alms and an average of 
69%.

In terms of a membership system, 100% of users would recommend Progress as a membership
system compared to 80% for Raiser’s Edge, 50% for Visual Alms, 50% for Donorflex
and an average of 70%.
