Great post!
I think a natural next step would be to ask EA orgs (such as Charity Entrepreneurship) what kinds of software projects they think would be most beneficial.
My understanding from informal conversations is many CE charities would benefit from simple CRMs and a few from simple ERPs:
CRM = Customer Relationship Managementātracks interactions (outreach, etc)
ERP = Enterprise Resource Managementātracks transactions (cash, physical goods, purchase orders, etc)
Other EA orgs might have similar needs; a needs assessment might be a valuable project to undertakeāperhaps this has already been done?
Yeah. A tech consultancy could conduct software projects for EA orgs in 3 stages:
Understand the clientās needs.
Find out if an off-the-shelf software solution exists (such as an existing CRM). If yes, procure it and adapt it for the clientās needs.
If not, try to create a new software solution.
