BeerCampCopenhagen2008

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , on July 31, 2008 by allanwith

Hello!

I am pleased to announce that we will be hosting a BarCamp-style event on August 29th in Copenhagen. It is sort of an offspring of BarCampCopenhagen which I also definitely think you should attend (I know I will).

As with WineCamp focus will be on technology, pr and nonprofits, but instead of wine we will be drinking beer (since I’m from Denmark and we drink more beer than wine).

If you’re totally new to the concept you can look at it as a evening/afternoon where people from nonprofits and technologists meet to talk about how technology might help nonprofits perform better or learn new ways of organizing their work while technologists can get to work for organisations who work for a greater humanitarian good.

CRM / Mail-management

Posted in Work with tags , on July 14, 2008 by allanwith

I’m working on a small project for a client, in which I need a simple CRM/mail-management program.

The requirements are:
1. Must to be able to handle customized form-submission
2. Needs to be extremely simple!
3. Assignment of mail to groups of people
4. Ticket/case management
5. Anti-spam!

We’re using fogbugz internally at beaconware, which works great for software projects. But I’m not so sure that it’ll be as good in a more sales-oriented scenario.

Right now I’m looking at:
- Sproutit Mailroom (I like that they have made some steps towards integration with basecamp)
- Cerberus Helpdesk (Looks a bit cluttered)
- Highrise (of course!)
- Zoho CRM (might be too complicated for this scenario)

I’m basically working my way through this list:

But since it’s a year old, a lot might have changed since. Anyone out there got any other suggestions?
