Considering implementing a grant system for the first time?
Undoubtedly, you will have a system for handling grant applications, reviewing these, approving them and managing the payments process. It could be you use some manual systems with a small database or set of spreadsheets operated by one or two key individuals who have designed the "system" or grown to know it.
What happens if you key staff fall ill or leave?
What happens if funders require more reports and comparative data?
What happens if paper records or data on a single computer is destroyed?
We have installed or are installing over a dozen Grant Management systems in charities large and small, in the UK and overseas. We have seen more than most and we believe CC Grant Tracker offers a simple, unified easily accessed system to all grant providers. What is more, we can help you migrate your current data from existing databases and spreadsheets onto the CC Grant Tracker system.
You can be reassured you are not the first organisation to embark on a new system so why not speak to colleagues in the industry who have already had experience implementing a new system. We would of course encourage you to speak to our users. However, find other charities who have implemented other systems. Ask them questions such as:
- Did you write a full Requirements Specification?
- How many bidders did you invite?
- Did you visit other sites?
- How long did it take to implement the new solution?
- Did the supplier live up to their promises?
- What would you have changed in the research/bidding/ selection process?
- What works well for you now?
- What are the benefits of your new system?
- What do you wish you could do better?
- What would you advise us to do?
All the desk research in the world is no substitute for guided tour of CC Grant Tracker.
