Internet Strategy & Planning
Sound familiar?
- Other
organizations seem to be attracting more attention and achieving more results
than we are…
-
Competing
needs are pulling the Internet team in every direction except
forward.
-
I
don't know what technology assets I have … or what I need.
-
Our
databases don’t talk to each other -- and our people don’t
either.
Beaconfire is the ideal partner to help you figure out how to get from “here”
to “there” online. We’ve worked with many nonprofit organizations, we are
objective about software and suppliers, and we have top notch technical chops.
We’ll bring our expertise to bear on your situation with a collaborative and
thoughtful process to identify your needs, assets, and opportunities -- and
build consensus around a custom roadmap to the online future you desire. Our
final report to you will outline:
- What do first, what to do next, and what to do after that
- Which software solutions to explore
- Implications for the rest of the
organization
- How much it will cost
- Opportunities to cut expenses or increase
donations.

Internet Business Strategies: We’ll help you develop an
overarching plan to effectively use the Internet to fulfill your organization's
mission. Typical elements of these efforts include: analyses of user needs,
comparisons of your organization to peers and competitors, best practices,
recommendations for online programs, prospective returns on investment, and
implementation road maps.
Technology Assessments:
We’ll help you develop a plan to solve a specific problem. Typical elements of
these efforts include: evaluation of specific technology needs and processes,
management procedures, and skill inventories for staff and contractors.
Technology Integration Strategies: We’ll help you plan to
identify how to get disparate data systems to talk to each other and improve
your operational efficiency. Typical elements of these efforts include: an
inventory of existing systems, data and user needs, options for short and
long-term, recommended architecture, the business case for moving forward, and
an implementation plan.
Path Analyses and RFP Consulting: Does an all-in-one
solution meet your needs, or should you order a la carte? Should you build, buy,
or lease your software? We’ll help you answer these questions in the context of
your broader strategic goals. Typical elements of these efforts include: how to
select a vendor, what types of software are most appropriate and what products
to consider, recommended path for moving forward (RFI, RFP, or software
evaluation)
