Is It Time to Transition Your Nonprofit’s Legacy Systems?

As nonprofits face increasing pressures from inflation and budget constraints, leveraging effective technology is critical to sustaining your mission. With many legacy software solutions being phased out, it’s essential to assess whether your current systems can continue to support your organization’s growth. Often, the software you originally invested in may not scale as your organization evolves.

Join Sparkrock for a practical webinar to evaluate whether it’s time to transition from outdated technologies. We’ll explore key considerations in your decision-making process, including:

• Are you facing operational inefficiencies or scalability challenges?
• Are you relying on multiple disconnected systems?
• Is your current technology meeting your organization’s evolving needs?
• Are you prepared for the change management a new system requires?
• Can your platform scale with your organization during financial uncertainty?

By the end of this session, you’ll gain actionable insights into whether your technology is still meeting your needs, along with guidance on making informed decisions that align with your strategic goals and support continued growth.

The webinar will cover:

• How to recognize when it’s time to transition
• Key steps once you’ve decided to switch
• What to look for in a technology partner and platform

We’re also excited to have a special guest join us:

Andrew Morrow – Director of the Nonprofit Advisory Service Department at Forvis LLP, a top U.S. public accounting firm specializing in assurance, tax, and consulting services.
