SUMMARY:Strategic Software Selection for Nonprofits from Idealware
DESCRIPTION:Three 90-minute webinars\, Thursdays\, January 17 – 31. \nRegular Price: $120\nWVNPA Member Price: $95 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code) \nRegister: http://bit.ly/SoftwareSelection19\n \nIn any software category there are usually dozens of options. With so many features and pricing plans to sort through\, how do you choose the right system for your organization? Over three sessions in January\, Idealware Expert Trainer Eric Leland will teach you how to evaluate your organization’s needs\, assemble a software selection team\, sort through your options\, review and test the software\, and manage a smooth implementation. If your organization is considering switching software or bringing on a new system in the next six months\, you’ll save a lot of time\, money\, and headaches if you take the time now to think through the process and develop a plan. Let Idealware be there to guide you. \nDuring this course you will: \n\nReflect on whether you actually need new software.\nLearn how to evaluate your software needs.\nConsider the potential return on investment (ROI) of new software.\nFind out what it takes to build a selection team.\nHear how to work with vendors to get the right system at the right price.\nPlan for the big move.\nThink through how to onboard staff.\nReview what it takes to maintain the new system.\n\nToolkit Schedule\n(All sessions take place at 1 pm Eastern and last for 90 minutes.) \nJanuary 17: Defining Your Process\nBefore you begin listening to the sales pitches and walking through demos\, we’ll first take a step back and ask whether you really need new software and consider how to measure the return on investment. From there we’ll look at the selection process and lay the groundwork for a thoughtful plan. \nJanuary 24: Evaluating Your Choices and Closing the Deal\nOnce you’ve planned your process\, it’s time to start learning about your different choices and comparing them against your needs. This session will show you what to look for as you evaluate your options and will talk you through each stage as you move closer to closing the deal. \nJanuary 31: Your New System in Action\nThe real work begins after you sign the contract. In this session\, we’ll walk you through each of the major stages as you implement your system and onboard it with your staff. \nOther Info\nParticipants will also be given weekly homework assignments. Please register with the email address where you would like to receive the access code and dial-in information for the online seminar.
