Waltham, Mass. and San Francisco, CA - Oct. 21, 2009 - Harvest Solutions, a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) consulting firm, and the Salesforce.com Foundation, the global leader in integrating philanthropy and business, today announced that Lawrence CommunityWorks (LCW) is now live on Salesforce CRM.
LCW, a non-profit organization committed to revitalizing Lawrence, MA, is using Salesforce CRM to consolidate and streamline the organization's business development processes. These processes include tracking donation, neighborhood Circles, membership, and training. Harvest Solutions, a salesforce.com partner, led the implementation which is now enabling LCW to improve management of constituents by enhancing the system to capture members, non-members, volunteer management and classroom management.
LCW offers a series of community programs addressing areas such as home purchasing, youth activities, volunteering, real estate development, and family asset building. As a result of these programs, LCW has improved its customer service and internal communications as well as decreased its custom application development costs.
"We're growing at such a rapid pace that we needed a CRM system that will scale and offer the flexibility of the cloud. Harvest Solutions was instrumental in helping us to realize that potential and customer success with salesforce.com," says Glorialyz De los Santos, Website and data systems manager, Lawrence CommunityWorks, Inc.
LCW decided to standardize on Salesforce CRM after outgrowing a home-grown Microsoft Access legacy solution that was no longer able to support the needs of particular business units. LCW chose salesforce.com because it could achieve customer success with the enterprise-tested scale and capabilities of Salesforce CRM in the cloud.
"Nonprofits such as Lawrence CommunityWorks continue to demonstrate the same needs as enterprises when it comes to realizing the potential of cloud computing," said Suzanne DiBianca, executive director, Salesforce.com Foundation. "Harvest Solutions along with the Salesforce.com Foundation cherish customer successes like Lawrence CommunityWorks that may now focus on providing services to the community instead of managing IT infrastructure."
