iMIS Nonprofit Software, Business Microvar, and Microsoft Join Forces to Deliver a Complete Software Solution for Nonprofit Organizations

http://www.businessmicrovar.com – iMIS nonprofit software solution provider, Business Microvar recently joined forces with Microsoft and Advanced Solutions International (ASI) in a campaign to offer a complete software solution for nonprofit organizations by combining two products, Microsoft Great Plains and iMIS.

The recent release of Microsoft Great Plains 8.0 contains enhanced functionality for nonprofit organizations including grant management, analytical accounting, and fund accounting. iMIS software, currently in version 10, is developed specifically for nonprofit organizations. iMIS software for nonprofit organizations offers complete customer relationship management functionality along with web content management, and marketing campaign management.

"Business Microvar has worked with nonprofit organizations for over ten years now. These organizations have unique needs that both Microsoft Great Plains and iMIS are able to fulfill, especially when integrating them together,' stated John Hendrickson, CEO of Business Microvar. "Our certified professionals not only have the ability to implement the software for businesses, but they also have the knowledge to customize the software and then train the users of the product. Our full-service capabilities really allow us meet our nonprofit customers' needs.'

Business Microvar's nonprofit customers come from a wide range of organizations. These include museums, religious organizations, social service organizations, fundraising organizations, and associations nationwide.

Business Microvar continues to create many opportunities for nonprofit organizations who want to take a look at how this combination of products can benefit their organization. iMIS and Great Plains seminars will be held this fall in Minneapolis, MN, and Omaha, NE, where a regional manager from ASI and a solution consultant from Business Microvar will provide an in-depth look at the nonprofit-specific features offered by iMIS and Great Plains. Web seminars covering iMIS and Great Plains features and functionality are available on a monthly basis.
