What to consider when purchasing • Cost, and yearly costs assoc. with support • Number of organizations using software • Age of the company producing the software • Online access for volunteers to use the software themselves (yes/no) and is it accessible by ANY browser? (not just IE) • Accessibility-can be used with Asst. Tech? • Can we add customize fields? • What operating system the software needs • How often is it updated • Is there an online users forum
The Most Important to TUW-Can it…. • Track volunteers contributions by any time constraints? • Track volunteer skills? • Track volunteer availability and skills? • Export selected data, or all data, into other types of files (like Excel)? • Where is the database information stored?
