Key questions you need to ask

Scability - future focus

When you're on the hunt for the perfect client management system thinking ahead about the future and ongoing development should play a role in the selection process. After all you want a system that will respond to your needs now and in the future.  
 
Here are some “forward-thinking” questions to keep in mind.

Firstly, it is about to think about hosting infrastructure – will you have to handle it and foot the bill, whether it's in the cloud or on local servers?  Next, consider the system's cloud origins – was it born in the cloud or did it move there later? You'll want a system that's ahead of the curve. 

When it comes to installation, do you need to add any software to your devices?  Is the system friendly with all operating systems, including mobile devices?   

Security is essential – does the system offer the peace of mind of multi-factor authentication? And what about uptime? Can the system provider guarantee a stellar 99.9% uptime? 

Last but not least, it is important to “peek into their crystal ball” – what's on their development roadmap? Making sure they're keeping up with the times is key for a future-proof system. 

These "forward-looking" questions will lead you to a client management system that not only meets your current needs but also sets you up for a successful future in the social sector.
