NewGlobalCitizens.org wins best Nonprofit Website
Plone was one of the featured tracks at this year's CMSExpo, which showcases the best in web content management and is organized by the Content Management System Association. The best nonprofit website award went to a Plone websites created by ifPeople for New Global Citizens.
For New Global Citizens, the effort to build a new website and operate on a new communications platform could not have been accomplished without first realizing that an investment in technology was the key to sustaining the growth of their organization. Operating with a limited staff, NGC now has a greater ability to share and interact with students in over 50 high schools around the country. The staff can see all information about students, teachers, and donors in one system. And NGC's core processes around team formation, action, and reporting were turned into a pipeline that staff could manage easily, saving them time by making their key information visible. The team at ifPeople also handled extensive remote and on site training to support user adoption and ensure NGC was up and running successfully with two new technologies. View the NGC website here.

Chris highlighted one key area of interest from last year's Expo—the Plone-to-CRM (client relationship management) integration—and included a section demo’ing the simple parts of Plone-to-salesforce integrations into his presentation. Plone's Salesforce integration products were also the recipient of the Best Plone App award at the CMSExpo!
