Case Study: FMS

As a large school with extensive fundraising needs, FMS in Cleveland, Ohio relied on two independent software systems to manage their operation - one in the financial office & the other in the academic office. After years of maintaining two parallel systems, FMS realized that is was time to simplify.

Finding the right fit wasn’t easy. They required a system that could be used by the financial office to run their varied fundraising campaigns, the registrar’s office to enroll students and create contracts, and the academic office to use for grading, attendance and other day-to-day tasks. After researching other companies, from the industry vanguards to up-starting developers, they determined that the only company that would handle their needs appropriately was Dynamic Data Concepts.

They contacted our office, handed over the data from their former two systems, and told us work our magic. And indeed, magic was performed. In only a few short weeks, they were up and running with their new software. Finally, data entry was streamlined and maintenance was no longer a foreboding duty. Tasks were performed smoothly as chores were automated and followed a logical flow.

As Aron Epstein, CFO, stated: "With a budget and fundraising goal as large as ours, we needed a system that would meet our complex needs. Dynamic Data's software has proven to be that system. In addition, the wealth of reports gives us a strong handle on our data and allows us to make smart, efficient decisions."

Over the years that FMS has been using DDC's system, we've enjoyed a mutually rewarding relationship. The customer support of DDC has always been there to assist the staff, and we've been continually upgrading and improving our system to ensure that our clients can run smoothly. Now, with the release of the 360° Suite, the excitement at FMS is mounting. "We're looking forward to another stellar DDC system," says Aron Epstein with a smile.
