In her new position, Mary will partner with UK non-profits to help them ensure they maximise the potential of The Raiser’s Edge in meeting their objectives. She will work closely with clients to identify opportunities to improve business processes that take full advantage of their software investment. The consultancy Mary will offer will show organisations, both large and small, where changes in their current processes and use of the system can lead to increased efficiency and productivity.
