HandsOn Network Unveils HandsOn Connect, Built Using Salesforce.Com Technologies

By Deepika Mala, TMCnet Contributor


To help nonprofits improve how they manage everything from volunteer recruitment, operations and activities, to event planning, website and donor and contact management, HandsOn Network has introduced HandsOn Connect, a groundbreaking solution delivered with cloud computing.

 
HandsOn Connect is built using Salesforce.com (News - Alert) technologies and delivers enterprise-class applications on the trusted Force.com cloud computing platform. Customers, through this innovative system that delivers volunteer management functionality without the cost and complexity of software, hardware or complex infrastructure, can access the service from anywhere with an Internet connection.
 
The organization with that level of ease and accessibility will be able to realize success with an affordable and scalable solution.
 
Quick completion of tasks such as the creation and management of volunteer opportunities, registration, tracking and verification of volunteer activities, as well as customizable reporting of vital statistics, will easily be allowed with HandsOn Connect.
 
Also, organizations, using an easy interface, can create content, post blog feeds, interface easily with social networking tools and place logos and photos on a customizable website template without the need for a web design expert.
 
For nonprofits that need better recruitment and management of volunteers, as well as reliable volunteer statistics to secure funding, fulfill grant requirements and manage budgets, HandsOn Connect is welcome news.
 
With the help of the solution, the volunteers will be able to easily find relevant opportunities, maintain records of engagement, and improve their relationships with nonprofits and the community.
 
HandsOn Connect is currently being rolled out to 200+ affiliates of the HandsOn Network.
 
To conduct detailed searches on open opportunities, individuals may use HandsOn Connect. Volunteers may search by cause, organization name, skills set impact area or calendar dates. Also, to rate their experience, provide feedback and share information through social networking features, individuals can use HandsOn Connect.
 
Detailed, interactive demos of HandsOn Connect can also be scheduled at National Conference on Volunteering and Service at Hilton New York in New York City on June 28-30.
 
In related news, Patron Technology, a developer of digital marketing software, has partnered with Salesforce.com to introduce PatronManager CRM, a unique application designed to organize arts and culture organizations.
