Creating a CRM Roadmap for the UN Foundation

As the UN Foundation diversified and expanded their strategies, they needed to change how CRM supported their work. Build started with an technology assessment, before proposing specific changes to technology which gave the organization a clear roadmap from which to approach their technology strategy.

But our findings also provided an opportunity to understand how the foundation must transform to get the most from their CRM investment.

  • Build dug into the details, they politely asked the same questions five times until they got an answer. They were very professional, very smooth. They gave us the sense of being part of a solution. After 30 years of doing things the same way, they showed us that there is room to change and room to grow. They are a wealth of knowledge, the consultants can relate to our experience and were excellent. In terms of the project as a whole, the methodology that we went through was marvelous.

  • I’ve lived through assessments where the solution was always “more and better IT.” Build took a different approach. They encouraged us to get the business processes right – before we invest in technology. They think about information systems from a business perspective, not solely a technology one.

  • What was so great was knowing that Build could handle it - knowing I picked the right people. Knowing that I could lean on Build was super important. It went very well. Build didn't let any grass grow under our feet - they were great at moving things along.
