Ministry Technology Solutions
Ministries have many competing tasks to handle, from fundraising to recruitment to accomplishing your mission, and you need tools that help you do all this efficiently and effectively. Finding and managing the right tech is often challenging and time-consuming.
As your technology partner, we will assist with system and CRM assessments, implementing the right systems, and providing you with IT Support for Ministries and App Development to suit your goals. We free up your staff, allowing their focus to be on your mission, while ensuring you have the right tools and systems, and are well-supported, trained, and secure to fully utilize them.
Chad Jeffreys, IT Director, New Horizons Foundation.
"Highly recommend the Rooted Software team. They helped us assess our core systems and develop our system requirements for a large system upgrade. This catapulted us far ahead of where we would be at in the process if we didn't have their assistance. We also transferred the software management for our admin portal and have greatly increased stability and change requests throughput. Just great people to work with as well. They truly have become a part of our team."
We serve ministries with technology in the following ways:
-
Ministry IT Services
Ministries need reliable technology and affordable IT services, with intentional security controls to accomplish their mission effectively and safely. Our Ministry IT Support provides ongoing maintenance and monitoring of your computers, mobile devices, and cloud services and data. Our dedicated team of support technicians are available to handle your IT Support for Ministries with kindness and intentionality, freeing up your internal staff. We’ll get to know your team personally as we serve you by phone, email, and tickets - or on-site. We are considerably less expensive than relying on internal IT Support staff. We handle cloud service support, and infrastructure support of your network and servers, keeping you connected, and your data secure.

Systems Assessments and Selections
Ministries have a suite of systems that ‘should’ work seamlessly together. From your donor management system or CRM, to your accounting tool, online giving, email marketing, mobilization - we help you ensure that your technology tools work seamlessly together. We’ll meet with your team to analyze your systems’ requirements and pain points, and to consider which systems should be either consolidated or integrated. We will then evaluate and recommend the options to improve your overall systems landscape, and create a clear, affordable gameplan. We provide a ‘Core Systems Assessment’ of all your systems, or a System Selection to replace specific tools. We take the time, to understand your unique challenges to offer you tailor-made advice.

Ministry CRM Consulting
Great CRMs provide a powerful, user friendly ecosystem of tools to serve ministries with effective donor management and engagement, online fundraising, and volunteer management. Selecting, successfully implementing, carefully integrating, and fully leveraging a CRM is no easy feat, since changes and data migration even to the best systems is often a large project that touches many or all teams, business processes and data. Rooted has extensive experience to serve with implementing and fully utilizing a ministry CRM. We are excited to come alongside your nonprofit long-term with highly complex data migrations, data hygiene improvements, custom integrations, business process consulting, and more. We partner with several CRM options including Virtuous, and Microsoft Dynamics.

Web and Mobile App Development
Many Ministries need custom mobile apps for ministry and donor relations, or tracking ministry effectiveness for staff, to help communicate and collaborate effectively. Our mobile and web app development team builds beautiful, reliable, well-tested mobile and web apps. Our team of developers is US-based and speaks in a language that makes sense across nonprofits! We build apps that integrate with your other systems, making your existing content and data accessible. For brand-new apps, we start with a UI/UX design process to build out the screens and features you need in a beautiful prototype. Once this is completed and signed off, we begin our build, test, and delivery process. We ensure your team is satisfied that we are intentionally meeting your requirements both during the building process until launch. Then, we offer long-term support and maintenance of apps.
