Services > Custom Tools

You know your organization's work best. You know where you are and where you want to be. Choosing a custom system means your experience and vision go into creating a software solution that does exactly what you need.

Most mission-driven organizations have a unique approach to their unique work. Unfortunately, finding tools to support that work can be a challenge.

Using a pre-designed software product can be frustrating for mission-driven organizations. Too often, we hear about organizations who have purchased a software product and found that they paid for features they don't use. In addition, some learn that the product doesn't do exactly what they need or doesn't fit their approach to work. The organization responds by using multiple systems, entering data in numerous places or continuing to use spreadsheets to manage important information. This disrupts workflow and wastes valuable resources. A custom system solves these challenges.

Some benefits of a custom system are:

1. You and your staff determine your needs while experienced technology and operations specialists guide the process.
2. You work with the Annkissam team to do a complete review of your workflow before beginning system design. This helps the Annkissam team fully understand how you'll use the system so your goals are reflected in your software.
3. During the workflow review, you and the Annkissam team determine where in your process outcomes can be measured. Your system is designed to capture data for valuable metrics.
4. You use the system and provide feedback on it while it's being developed. As you use the system, you get more ideas about what would best serve your organization. Those ideas are readily integrated into system development.
5. You get exactly the features you need and none that you don't. The Annkissam team will have plenty of ideas about functionality that might benefit your organization, but we only develop what you want.
