Data 4 Development > Transformation

What is needed to transform your organisation?

To become a data-driven organisation, you have to take three main components into consideration:

people
process
technology

Based on the interaction with our clients, we usually notice that a lot of organisations have a typical cycle of 8 to 12 years regarding their use of core applications as finance & program management. If you take into account the velocity of the technology then, selecting an application that fits your organisation needs can be challenging.

At Data4Development, our expertise serves to help non-profits. Indeed, we keep track of technology to make sure all efforts towards their organisational goals are as effective as possible.

Testimonials

D4D first selected well suited products for our financial and project administrative systems. Then they counselled the development and fine tuning of the system for Hivos and helped prepare to set it up. D4D has a very capable and committed staff that are very pleasant to deal with. During the entire process they really started to understand the Hivos culture and the way that translates to the result of our services. I would definitely recommend D4D!

Tini van Goor - Project Manager Change

Hivos

We hired D4D as a Project Manager Google-implementation and as an advisor to help us with upgrading our IT infrastructure. They are driven, committed, loyal and know how to quickly and adequately react to a changing situation. They make their deadlines and don’t just provide you with feedback but also alert you in advance. This way you won’t get any surprises.

The D4D team worked to professionalize IT within Terre des Hommes. All our worldwide offices are now connected and use topnotch technology and equipment. This helps me to always have access to information and be in touch with all my colleagues worldwide.
