Information management is a fundamental function of all not-for-profits. Organisational documents and records are valuable assets that not only provide evidence of organisational activities, but also support your strategic objectives and your day-to-day operations. Advances in information and communication technology over the last few decades have led to the creation and collection of vast quantities of documents and data in electronic systems. This has dramatically changed the way organisations need to approach their information management practices. Poor information management can seriously hamper the conduct of the organisation, lead to inefficient practices, lowered productivity and put an organisation at risk of regulatory non-compliance. Quality management of information, on the other hand, results in efficient work practices, improved decision making, clearer communication and reporting and can help with accountability and compliance.

Preventing Violence in the Home has recently started a new pilot project called "Safe At Home" which is aimed at keeping high risk families safe, by making their homes more secure, with locks being changed or fitted, sensor lighting installed, glass doors changed to solid wood, broken windows fixed, fire extinguishers and smoke detectors provided etc.  Each victim will also be given a personal silent alarm, monitored 24 hours a day. This project will be running on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform. “We anticipate having amazing information which will help New Zealand learn better ways to protect vulnerable families, as a result of this project and the only way we could manage this, is through our wonderful new database. Thank you for making this possible for us, we could never have afforded to buy your products. We are so grateful.” Jane Drumm. Read more...
