Thrive is a national charity, founded in 1978, that makes use of gardening to change the lives of disabled people. Thrive is an excellent example of how a logical and strategic approach to data capture can result in more effective methods with better quality data and easier reporting.
Martin Rolfe, Database Manager at Thrive, explains the way in which they use Progress. "We started using Progress in 2002 following a review of our Alms database and a change of staff. The information in Alms was beginning to get untidy after the database manager left and I took on the role. Many of the problems were due to the way the system did not have a recognisable Windows interface and a lot of staff, including myself, were concerned that we would lose our data."
