Data Strategy, Technology & CRM

The Compass for Non-Profits in a Technology-Driven World.

In today's world, your technology is the single biggest capital investment you will make. Organisations must be thorough and understand the implications each decision. Your data strategy and architecture are the key to doing this the right way.

Data Strategy: The Compass for Non-Profits in a Technology-Driven World

In the digital age, data is the lifeblood of decision-making. For non-profit organisations, where resources are often limited and the impact is paramount, a robust data strategy is not just a luxury—it's a necessity.

A data strategy serves as a compass, guiding non-profits through the complexities of modern technology, ensuring that the every byte of data translates into robust decisions and actionable insights that further their cause.

CRM Systems: The Heartbeat of Data Strategy

For non-profits, a CRM system should not be seen as a standalone system which solves all of your data issues, but rather a central component of a holistic data architecture. This architecture, driven by a comprehensive data strategy, ensures that all data systems and processes work together, supporting your mission.

Data and CRM sit across multiple departments which often leads to complexities in delivering an architecture that works for everyone - from fundraising to finance and programmes teams. AAW’s data architects will work with all your stakeholders to ensure your CRM decisions and design deliver a lasting impact across the organisation.

Technology - mapping it all out

The technology and data decisions we make today will determine our ability to perform for years to come. We'll make sure you get it right.

AAW's data architects work with you to map everything out to make sure you have a robust and accurate foundation from which to implement, measure and grow your fundraising programmes.

Our team will undertake a root and branch analysis of how every byte of data flows between every platform; how the data is structured; and how reporting and analytics platforms represent the data so that fundraisers can make sense of the data and take meaningful action based on it.

Without a well-formed data architecture, the various platforms do not speak with each other effectively, meaning there are gaps and inconsistencies in reports and decisions have to be made using assumptions and guesswork.

Data strategy and architecture should be seen as an organisational must - it is not optional. This drives procurement decisions and ensures that the various platforms can speak with each other; that they use a common language; and that dashboard and reports can be created allowing the fundraiser to implement and manage their fundraising strategies.
