The Children's Trust case study

The Children's Trust is a national charity working with children who have multiple disabilities and complex health needs. They have around 75,000 records on Progress, 12 licences, and are using Progress to support their fundraising and management of events.

Linda Trafford, Database Analyst at the charity explains the process they went though selecting a new database and why they chose Progress. "We were using a database that had about 50,000 records on it and wasn't satisfactorily meeting our needs. Only one person really knew how to use it and when you had the system open you couldn't have other programs open too. Also, everyone was operating their own spreadsheets which meant that we had mailing duplicates"
