eTapesty has launched a version of its Web-based fundraising database that can be
accessed via mobile phone.
eTapestry Mobile was launched yesterday in Atlanta at
the Association of Fundraising Professionals International Conference on Fundraising.
eTapestry, which offers its donor database tools to nonprofits remotely rather than
loading them on to their PC networks, claimed that it is the “first mobile-compatible
site for donor databases.”

Now eTapestry clients can access their donor databases via the Web for their Web-
enabled cell phones. They can access and update account information, search accounts
and retrieve query results.

 

 

While Web-enabled phones can access most Web sites, high-resolution graphics and
lower phone bandwidths make it difficult for visitors to navigate, unless the sites
are formatted especially for mobile devices.

 

 

eTapestry Mobile formats information for a small resolution screen. It is compatible
across a “wide range of mobile devices”, including PDAs, smart phones and WAP-enabled
phone browsers, which support XHTML content.

 

 

“It’s the next logical step for eTapestry, which has the goal of freeing nonprofits
from the office environment and their network,” said eTapestry Chief Operating Officer
Steve Rusche. “Fundraisers actively involved in donor relationship-building spend
time on the road in face-to-face meetings, but still need that office connectivity.”
