Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology » civcrm http://zenofnptech.org Thoughtful and sometimes snarky perspectives on nonprofit technology Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:24:48 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Exciting changes afoot… http://zenofnptech.org/2009/04/exciting-changes-afoot.html http://zenofnptech.org/2009/04/exciting-changes-afoot.html#comments Thu, 02 Apr 2009 03:57:06 +0000 Pearlbear http://www.zenofnptech.org/?p=472 I have some exciting news. For the last few months, I have been working on a new collaboration called OpenIssue, which is a growing, diverse, self-reflective and constantly-learning team. We are focused on delivering quality web technology solutions to nonprofit organizations and social enterprises.

As you know, I have built a long-time expertise in open source software and web applications, particularly Content Management Systems (CMS) and online database systems, including CRM. Thomas Groden, my new business partner, has expertise in Software-as-a-Service Constituent Relationship Management Systems (CRM), as well as much more broad expertise in technology infrastructure.

All technology implementors have to choose their tools (unless they run a very large shop) and we have decided to focus on implementation of both Salesforce.com and CiviCRM as CRMs, and Drupal as a CMS. We are keenly interested in building on our expertise to integrate these open platforms in really rich ways, to allow organizations to create great online applications.

I’m excited to be a part of a team – I’ve been a soloist for a while, and it’s nice to build collaborations, and work together with people with shared ideals on larger projects than I’d be able to take on alone. And I’m really excited by the set of technologies we’re working on, and the kinds of applications we’ll be building with these technologies.

And you can follow us on twitter.
