Bringing Innovation To Associations and Non-Profits

Fantail professionals have the combined experience of over 20 years of working closely with trade and professional associations. We are intimately familiar with the business processes, interrelationship between departments, functions and vendors, and the most popular association management and financial software, technologies, and 3rd-party integrations.

We see our experience and innovation with cloud solutions contributing in significant ways to the health and well-being of associations and non-profit organizations. Associations face the same fundamental challenges that other business do and perhaps even more so because of the constraints that they are bound to operate within. Challenges related to data management, and implementing and adopting technology are by no means any different in non-profit organizations, but do come with the constraints of cost, approval process and the need to align more closely with the mission and priorities of the organization. Fantail understands all of these dynamics and how to create and deliver stable, yet flexible solutions for associations.

It's Not About (The Cost Of) Software Anymore

Today, software is free or inexpensive, and more so for non-profit organizations. For example, Google Apps is free to non-profits, while Salesforce.com offers ten free user licenses to non-profit organizations. Therefore, the challenge is no longer software cost. Rather, it is to understand the needs and operations of the association, and how to apply the myriad of software applications, internet tools, and web-enabled devices to create the best and most flexible short and long-term solutions that deliver efficiencies to the association, and added value to its members and larger community. Fantail’s technology consulting division brings the fruits of years of experience and the innovation of cloud technology to non-profits. Our technology and management consulting teams help associations create and implement smart and forward-thinking technology strategies.
