Convio has named the first three technology companies that will help deliver its
Common Ground® product in the UK later this year.

[Purple Vision](http://www.purple-vision.com), [Westbrook International](http://wigroup.com)
and [Third Sector IT](http://thirdsectorit.org) will all help charities implement
Common Ground, Convio’s Salesforce-based CRM tool. All three companies are currently
becoming certified Convio Solution Providers so that they can consult on and deploy
Convio Common Ground.

Common Ground is used by more than 600 charities around the world, and has been 
developed specifically for the charity sector on the Salesforce.com platform. It
is already being piloted by some UK charities before its official release.

Martin Campbell, UK Managing Director, [Convio](http://www.convio.co.uk), said: “
Convio Common Ground is one of the most feature-rich charity CRM products in the
market, with fundraising and social media functionality built in, on the world-class
Salesforce.com platform, but good technology on its own is not enough – you need
a support network to deliver it.”

This was why the company was partnering with a range of other strategy, services
and technology firms to help charities make the most out of Common Ground.

Ambrose McGinn, CEO of Westbrook International, added: “Most charities are now running
multiple campaigns and maintaining a comprehensive database of supporters and fundraisers.
What Convio has done with Common Ground makes it very easy for charities to get 
started with a CRM system to manage this complexity, without the need for expensive
development to make the system work in the not-for-profit sector.”
