SUMMARY

This useful resource by Mags Rivett from Purple Vision provides a guide on selecting a CRM or database for small, non-profit, charitable organisations. It provides a five-point approach to help you find what’s right for your organisation including: strategy, integration, ease of use, expert support and budget.
