Our Sponsor - thankQ

As the year turns from 2011 to 2012, we have once again been asked to make our predictions for what the big technology news will be in 2012. Strangely, the headlines look remarkably similar to those we suggested in 2011 – and still reflect what people are talking about – mobile integration, cloud, social media integration, cloud, cloud and a bit more integration.

As a technology company we face the challenge of making the right call at the right time as to where we invest our time and energy in reacting to new trends and technologies. But technology is moving on all the time isn’t it – so surely the quicker we react to the latest ideas, the better? Not always.

So what is the secret of good technology?

White Paper: 3 Keys to a Smart Website

Our White Paper, "3 Keys to a Smart Website: How Leading Not-for-Profits are Driving Online Engagement with a More Personalised and Relevant Web Experience", provides case study vignettes of three not-for-profits that successfully created “smart” websites to strengthen the relationship with their constituents. In it, you’ll learn strategies to:
* Combine the power of CRM with CMS to create dynamic websites that will keep your current members, donors and other constituents engaged and help attract new ones
* Deliver convenient e-commerce and self-service options that empower your constituents, while increasing staff productivity
* Create vibrant, private online communities that offer the resources constituents can’t find elsewhere—thereby driving home the value of membership/supporting your organisation
