We are also a non profit organization at Forman Christian College and we are already able to benefit from this.
JMT Consulting Group, Inc.- NY Area - This has a great impact on our organization, whenever we run into any issue we log our case with JMT and they respond us the appropriate solution; MIP Support is our last resort if the problem is not that critical. This has been a great benefit to our organization and this MIP Partner is a good initiative.
It's a complete solution. Previously, my organization was using some payable software with another hookup software from a third party but it had a lot of glitches; after that i don't even imagine to have a software with no support on ground and using other software hookups for payable and asset management.
