Business software solutions provider Access Group has established a not-for-profit
division to consolidate and enhance its work with charities and third sector organisations.

It already has 820 charity and not-for-profit clients and claims that 15% of top-
tier charities use [Access Group](http://www.theaccessgroup.com/) products.

The new division will be headed by Rob Barr who joins the Group having worked for
over 15 years in the software sector for companies including Iris and Epicor. He
has helped implement solutions for small organisations and the largest member bodies
and charities.

[Access' acquisition of thankQ](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/news/2012/12/03/access-group-acquires-thankq)
at the end of last year enables it to offer integrated financial software and CRM
fundraising. As well as HR and payroll solutions, it recently launched Access aCloud
platform for clients, including charities, to use to handle document management 
and team management functions.

Barr said: "Access' already strong portfolio of tightly integrated on-premise and
cloud solutions has recently been bolstered by the acquisition of thankQ… I'll be
responsible for the direction of the product roadmap, ensuring it remains relevant
to the sector, alongside the integration of new products into the suite through 
internal development and acquisition."
