It seems like everywhere you go people are talking about ‘digital transformation.’ But what does it mean for a nonprofit finance team like yours? Digital transformation with Sage Intacct can provide your nonprofit with a data-driven understanding of its performance, what areas require your attention, and where improvements can be made. It also frees up employees to focus on higher-value tasks, instead of spending time on manual work that could be automated.
The pain of dated technology
Nonprofits face a range of obstacles to achieving their mission, both external and internal. In addition to increasing competition for funding, economic shifts that create more demand for services, and government regulations, internal processes and technology can also create significant barriers.
Nonprofit organizations are often held back by disjointed business and financial systems that lack data sharing and fail to provide the necessary metrics for making informed decisions. To improve efficiency and gain valuable insights, nonprofit finance leaders should prioritize better automation, integration, and visibility across all systems.
