We have experience with most of the major vendors that serve the non-profit market and can objectively evaluate the respective strengths and weaknesses of each. Additionally, our work with some of the nation’s largest non-profits, including museums, educational and cultural institutions, as well as social service providers, helps us to anticipate the future needs of the organization.

In our systems selection process we believe that it is extremely important to identify and articulate the functional and technical requirements of the organization before evaluation software. We help organizations understand what they need software to do as well as where they need to change in order to effectively implement any new system. After this process of review, we produce a detailed requirement checklist in the form of a Request for Proposal (RFP), submit them to the appropriate vendors, help the organization evaluate the responses and guide them through the software demos and final selection decision.

JCA provides system selection for the following types of systems:

• Fundraising
• Membership
• Admissions
• Visitor Services
• Ticketing

JCA has helped many non-profits find the best system for them.  Learn more about JCA's successful system selections:
