Southwest Ohio

Working in Dayton

For nonprofit operations in Dayton the local constraint is that the one admin who knows where everything is covers four jobs. We fit a full audit, then a parallel run to that, which a support desk outside Ohio rarely manages.

Near the Great Miami riverfront, community organizations still run a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive that worked fine when the business was half its size, and Microsoft Access migration mostly deals with the difference.

What this looks like day to day

Access Migration for community organizations

In a non-profit in Dayton, the Access database is usually the donor history, and after the people it is the most valuable thing the organization owns. Thirty years of Dayton gifts, tributes, and relationships sit on one machine near the Great Miami riverfront, and the backup is a copy on the same drive. We migrate the giving history with every relationship intact, then rebuild year-end and grant reporting so it comes out of the records. An organization run by one admin especially needs those numbers to stop living in her head.

In Dayton the same story shows up under different names, with a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive in one building and the grant report kept somewhere else, and Access Migration starts by mapping which is which.

  • The one admin who knows where everything is stops being the backup plan for a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive in Dayton, which is what Microsoft Access migration buys

Questions

What Dayton businesses ask us

Do you subcontract Dayton Microsoft Access migration work to somebody else?

No. The people who scoped the Dayton, OH job do the work, so they can answer questions about a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive without looking anything up. For community organizations that is most of the value.

Do you support other Dayton sites as well as the main office?

Yes. Multi-site setups are where the grant report tends to go astray for community organizations. Dayton is about three hours from Marietta, worked as full on-site days with remote support in between. One Microsoft Access migration contact covers every location across Southwest Ohio, so you are not juggling a vendor per town.

What goes wrong most often for community organizations using Microsoft Access migration?

A grant report rebuilt from memory, and usually in a quiet way. Around the Great Miami riverfront it tends to be the grant report slowly drifting away from a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive until the year-end acknowledgement run arrives and the two disagree in front of everyone.

Can Access Migration work with the systems we already run in Dayton?

Yes, and that is where we start. Around Dayton, OH we connect or improve a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive before replacing anything. If something in Dayton has to go, we show you what keeping it costs in donors retained year over year first.
