Step 1: Are You Ready?"If I could give nonprofits one piece of advice about
preparing for/starting a database transition, it would be
to make sure that you are doing it for the right reasons. That you are not looking for a quick fix, but you are truly interested in
collecting and using data from your constituents to drive how you provide services to them, and because of that, you are committed to the sometimes long and somewhat painful process of choosing and implementing the right database.“ ~Natalie Brenner, Progressive Technology Project
