Review of the Technology Strategy for the SCORE Association Jim Gephart, Vice President of Technology, SCORE National
Ensuring Industry Standards • Take time to test new technology • Manage projects from every angle and consider alternatives • Review the long term use and the needs of the chapter regarding day-to-day usability • Communicate effectively and often • Utilize Drupal code (PHP language) to expand future systems
Overall Technology Strategy • Adapt to your chapter and individual needs • Provide easy access to accurate and up-to-date client information • Easily report data you find useful • Support your relationship with your clients
Flexible SCORE Systems • We have the capacity to consider, evaluate, and make changes within our systems and websites as deemed necessary.
Moving Forward • Working closely with volunteers on the UTAC group to better understand end-user needs for a valuable CRM to include: • Simplicity in every task • Ease of use for volunteers and clients • Adequate support for volunteers, leaders, and clients • Build on your existing knowledge and familiarity our volunteers have with systems • More effective and efficient reporting and metrics tracking
Moving Forward • Implementation of email mentoring on new SugarCRMsystem is the first priority; doing extensive testing with volunteers to ensure day-to-day usability
Moving Forward • Improvements to Volunteer Center to better facilitate learning, communication and usage through better menu structure, navigation, and search capabilities.
Moving Forward • Roll out of the face-to-face mentoring solution will be done at a speed that works for your chapter– integrating only a few chapters at a time. The total rollout to all chapters will occur over a six month period (not overnight)
Moving Forward • Better communication using support.score.orgsite • Enhanced support staff quality through staff changes, the implementation of IT Best Practices (ITIL), using service-level agreements (SLAs) to manage customer needs
