Why is DTSI essential in achieving nonprofit digital transformation success?

DTSI can help nonprofits navigate the rapidly evolving digital landscape with purpose, using their mission as a key driver. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and tailored strategies, we provide essential tools to help nonprofits enhance their ability to report both financial and nonfinancial data, engage key stakeholders, and drive impactful change for the communities they serve. Through our Unmatched Client Experience®, your DTSI team will assist in guiding you toward a more efficient and functional IT system.

We work with internal decisionmakers and other stakeholders. Using both quantitative and qualitative analysis, we’ll evaluate your organization’s processes and challenges in relation to its technology stack. Combined with our nuanced understanding of accounting, development, budgeting, and donor/volunteer/sponsor management, we’ll work with you to reimagine an integrated system environment that’s tailored to your unique needs and helps meet end user goals.

Accounting for growth and scalability, culture, and programmatic impact, our innovative and in-depth solution is designed to help your nonprofit fulfill its mission in today’s digital world.

Our team can perform this technology strategy and innovation consulting for any system, including:

  • General Ledger
  • Human Resource Information System (HRIS)
  • Payroll
  • Customer Relationship Management
  • Accounts Payable
  • Purchasing
  • Grants Management
  • Cash Flow Management
  • Billing & Revenue Cycle
  • Budgeting
  • Forecasting
  • Close Management

The DTSI Four-Phased Methodology:

Diagnose

Every nonprofit functions differently. To provide tailored solutions, our team works with you to identify your needs. We take a holistic perspective to understand your organization, using a top-down/bottom-up diagnostic approach before launching any technology transformation. This process helps us identify whether challenges are people-, process-, or systems-related. We’ll then offer recommendations based on identified Gaps, so you can implement remediation steps before moving forward with your nonprofit digital transformation.

  • Current Process & Cycle Review
  • Current Process Documentation
  • Gap Analysis Project

Target

Your nonprofit has unique features that have contributed to its success. We’ll use our knowledge of those characteristics, as well as your current process and technology shortfalls, to help identify tailored digital solutions. Our system-agnostic team will then provide a curated selection of platforms. Our methodology not only includes helping revamp recording and reporting processes impacted by technology modifications but also resource planning to appropriately provision any change management.

Our DTSI team also can assist you with the vendor selection process. We’ll cut through the sales speak and map out how your new integrated system environment will look relative to any legacy technology or future platforms with which it needs to interact.

  • Road Map Systematize & Resource Planning
  • Vendor Selection

Systematize

We’ll work with your users to help your multi-component/platform system environment operate as an integrated solution. Our team will assist your nonprofit in thinking through new processes and preparing for a new system to help avoid workarounds on day one.

  • Integrated System Environment Design
  • Structure & Reporting Needs & Configuration
  • Integration Assistance
  • Data Migration

Initiate

While our role isn’t to implement your new system, we can act as a change manager to help streamline your implementation. Successful implementations require thoughtful and consistent resource management. Many nonprofits lack staff who have specialized knowledge in the new systems, thorough understanding of reporting standards, experience with process redesign, or time to manage the implementation while maintaining everyday business continuity.

Our DTSI team can provide solutions that will help you calibrate the new system while keeping day-to-day processes running.
