Newcastle based tech firm ION has announced completion of the first phase of a financial and business transformation contract to help the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) rebuild its suite of business management tools, using Sage Financials and Salesforce.
The Elton John AIDS Foundation was set up 25 years ago and since then has raised more than £290m to raise awareness, support programs and policies, and provide services for people with or at risk of HIV. It is one of the 20 largest private philanthropic HIV/AIDS grant-makers in the world.
Launched in 2016, ION specialises in Salesforce, the world’s number one customer relationship management system (CRM), as well as Sage Financials, a fully integrated cloud accounting solution.
ION’s 16-strong team have implemented a customised version of the CRM, specifically tailored for nonprofit organisations, to integrate Sage Financials giving the Elton John Aids Foundation real-time visibility and control of its financial operations, including donation and gift management.
The second stage of the project will involve implementing a sophisticated event management solution including ticket bookings, seat planning and auction management. This will provide deeper integration with the accounts solution as part of a bid to support the Foundation’s plans
