    Hi Mon, we use Hootsuite. It’s reasonably cheap and means we can manage postings on our social media to run concurrently without having to do it all manually. I’d thoroughly advise it. If you’d like to speak with my Digital Content Producer. Amanda Booth, please do so. Her email is: a.booth@ags.school.nz

    Thank you Delwynne and all who have contacted me. We went through a very rigorous RFP process and have landed with Potentiality a system based out of Australia. It is a cloud based membership/fundraising system which can speak with PC School our student management system via an API.
    It is a much cheaper option than Blackbaud and seems to be very versatile. We are experiencing the usual issues of data migration but that’s how it is for the first 12 – 18 months as we flush things out of the system.

    Hi Fiona,

    We currently use RE for our fundraising activities, and we also use a separate email DM system, plus a separate online Events registration system. The School also operates an independent student/parent portal. None of these systems speak to each other and there is compounding cost. On top of this we have a membership body which is wanting to have a more integrated and interactive membership portal. With all these various needs we are assessing what systems are in the market and which will best meet our needs.
    We have not yet made a decision but are working through our due diligence process. It’s no easy task.
    Kind regards
    Amanda

    Georgina, thank you, that is wonderful feedback. Certainly the ease of use is attractive to us and the membership interface so your comments are very worthwhile hearing. Thank you.
