Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's being used by our finance department for all matters of finance. At this point, it is not being used by the whole organization but that may be done in the future. The finance department records all transactions in MIP and it is used to pull reports as well.

Pros and Cons

The update process is very seamless when upgrading the software
It's a well written application and it works pretty fast
The user interface is very intuitive and is easy for new users to learn

Ability to run a report asking for invoices that were created in a specific time period. There is no possible way to run a report for that.
If you're running a report and you try to get back to the beginning of the report you have to close the whole thing to get back to the beginning - very frustrating.
Copying and pasting doesn't work from the description of the invoice to the line item. This is time consuming.

Return on Investment

Everything in one place is always great
Some of the quirks when typing information of boxes popping up and having to hit tab to get to the writing session is time consuming

Effectiveness at Managing Multiple Fund Sources

At this point we have not connected it to different sources

Alternatives Considered

Blackbaud CRM

Easier to use and great customer support

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited because it keeps balances of spread sheets, if I make a mistake an adjustment can be made very easily.

Where it is less appropriate is where copy and paste don't function like it would in Word. So if you make a mistake you need to delete the whole row.
