release of IRIS Donor Strategy runs all key processes through cost effective hosted environment.
Datchet, U.K. – 7 September, 2010 –IRIS NFP Solutions has today announced a significant new release of its market leading software for small and medium sized charities. Designed to actively support the sector through the twin challenges of uncertain Government funding and the need to participate in The Big Society, IRIS Donor Strategy 4.9 extends its successful CRM capabilities into the provision of web online communities, integrated accounts systems and new modules to address the challenge of volunteer management and multiple fundraising channels.
In addition, with IRIS Donor Strategy now delivered through a proven hosted environment, charities can keep their investment in costly IT infrastructure to a minimum, retaining cash for service delivery or further fundraising activity.
“Participation in The Big Society, and reacting to the fluctuating levels of government funding, will require small and medium charities in particular to operate at the top of their game” says Dale Thomas, Managing Director of IRIS NFP Solutions. “With a recent survey conducted by IRIS indicating such concerns in the third sector, it is more important than ever for charities to run as an integrated ’well oiled machine’, maximising their revenue generating potential and utilising the web to streamline processes, whilst placing little or no additional burden on stretched IT budgets.”
