Not-for-Profit sector solutions

Today's non-profit organizations faced significant challenges in fulfillinf obligations to their stakeholders, including funding bodies, donors, goverment agencies, partners and beneficiaries of the programs.

Many of these organizations couldn't have real time access to their financial and operational information due to their dated legacy systems and/or multiple disparate systems.

This dimishes efficiency and wastes valuable resources and undermines their accountability, especially when it's tough to acquire accurate information when needed. Multiple languages, currencies and countries with their own reporting needs simple make the it more challenging and complex.

Non-profit organizations and NGOs are exposed to both internal and external drivers of change. External pressures such as these below challenge these organizations to respond quickly.

• changing funding levels,
• new funding structures,
• changing regulatory requirements,
• new tax reporting requirements

Internal change drivers such as these below also pose a challenge on the organization's ability  to change quickly.

• reorganizations and re-structuring
• evolving business processes
• financial management-driven changes
• new programs

Within this dynamic environment, non-profit organizations and NGOs are finding themselves under ever increasing scrutiny.
