Re: [MCN-L] Volunteer Management Software
Dear Julie and Beth, Salesforce is indeed a great option for centralizing your operations! As an example, Veevart <http://veevart.com/museums> offers a Salesforce based application through which Museums can run their activities (CRM, Ticketing, Shop, etc.) I would be happy to answer your questions if you have any regarding how far can a museum go with Salesforce! For more information, you can also check the meet up group "Salesforce for Museums <http://meetu.ps/c/2KDDl/xqGLr/f>" that has recently been created.

Re: [MCN-L] Volunteer Management Software (Elizabeth Bollwerk)
Hi Elizabeth! :-) :-) (Timlynn says "Hey!") You were so nice to me and Timlynn for our first MCN conference in 2014, TY so much. As I have said in the past, IANAMIP - I Am Not A Museum Informatics Professional - however, as a serial entrepreneur on both sides of the private/public sectors over many years, I have depended on the power and flexibility of the PHP/MySQL-based Drupal CMS platform for more creative web environments than you can shake a stick at. While I believe that the best strategy for Drupal-based design is to take the latest version and a collection of "best of breed" modules to craft exactly what you want/need, there are some impressive 3rd-party distributions that take the base Drupal platform to a higher level in the scope of their design missions. With that in mind, as an outsider/non-domain-expert, I would encourage you and others to take a look at CiviCRM, the CMS -- Constituent (not Content) Mgt. System -- built on the Drupal platform, https://civicrm.org/. I am sure that the core design focused on constituents, volunteers, donors, etc. is a generalization of the things that cultural heritage organizations deal with plus all the additional flexibility that any missing features you need can surely be covered by adding best of bred 3rd party modules if you need/want them. Having spent decades as a hard-core Smalltalk software designer/developer, I can assure you that the modular architecture of Drupal and its incredibly active developer community mean that you will only write the most minimal code that you need, if any, to create the design of your most-demanding requirements. Let us know if you need/want more information along these lines as you pursue your development agenda. Happy-Healthy Vibes, -: Jim Salmons :- https://medium.com/@Jim_Salmons/ P.S. TY MCN for the "emerging professional" scholarship for 2014! I am doing my best as a post-cancer 65-year-old indie #CitizenScientist to be worthy of this honor and encouragement. Here is a copy of my FIRST academic/scholarly research paper submitted for #DATeCH2017 that is an extension of the project design/mission I presented at #MCN2014: https://goo.gl/cFMcQH (PDF on my OneDrive in the cloud). I am working on a companion paper that shows the value of developing a Pattern Design Language within the scope the the Issuing Rule model element of the #cidocCRM/#FRBRoo/#PRESSoo ontology "stack." Would love to hear from anyone working on or interested in this conceptual space. ---Sent from Boxer | http://getboxer.com Dear Elizabeth, We use Volgistics here at the Florida Museum and our volunteer coordinator is very happy with it, and with their support team.

Re: [MCN-L] Volunteer Management Software
We have been using NGO Connect by Salesforce for about 9 months. It is much more than just volunteer management; we have donors, networking contacts, volunteers, and more all in one system. The online application and hours collection are my favorite part of this system.
