Annkissam was founded to bring the power of custom software to the nonprofit community.
Many nonprofits begin with a small team of dedicated individuals who are intimately familiar with the organization's operations.
They are able to communicate efficiently and effectively using phone, e-mail, and shared documents.
As the nonprofit grows, the team expands, but the processes that worked well for a team of 4 break down with a team of 12.
Rather than being freed to focus on the vision and strategy of the organization, the early leadership find it difficult to delegate operational responsibilities because they are the experts on how information is managed.
Nonprofits in this situation have three options:
- continue to use ad hoc methods like spreadsheets and e-mails
- pay for a software product, which may be customized in some way
- build a custom system that supports their exact workflow
Historically custom software has been cost-prohibitive for all but the largest nonprofits, so most teams are forced between the first two options.
Ad hoc methods do not allow the organization to grow to scale, and become less efficient as the team gets larger.
The other option, a software product, usually means that the operation needs to adapt its processes to the software; for many nonprofits who believe in the correctness of their approach, this is unacceptable.
Annkissam uses new technology to build custom software in a fraction of the time, which means we can build it at a fraction of the price.
This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for nonprofits.
We are committed to the nonprofit community and have completed a variety of projects that support unique nonprofit operations. Learn more about a few of our completed projects from our Case Studies.
