Solutions will not arise since we are trying to smash a square peg
(AMS) into a round hole (Salesforce system). Years from now, we
will still need to reference 12 page guides to do simple
functions. A system like this needs to be intuitive - which it
can never be.

Funny you should mention this.<br>
I was reviewing the recording of the meeting of the Internet Society
Foundation which was impressively published immediately after the
end of the call on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnsOkds-Ogs">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnsOkds-Ogs</a><br>
<br>
At 4:30 Andrew Sullivan, standing in to deliver the Managing
Director's report (until this position is filled), explained that
Fonteva, because it is based on SalesForce is being developed as a
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Tool which is being built
behind the scenes with a dashboard being turned on in Q2, "...which
will make things somehow easier".<br>
<br>
I wonder if the idea was to have a CRM System for the Internet
Society Foundation to administer grants and being able to scale up.
I have read that one of the biggest drawbacks of Fluxx Grantseeker
is that it doesn't provide users the ability to find or view active
RFPs. This means that organizations might have to invest in
additional grant prospecting tools to research and find active
funding opportunities. Since the Internet Society Foundation is
actively searching for funding opportunities, it would make sense to
implement a CRM system for this.<br>
<br>
But then comes the question: was the first aim to get a CRM system
for the Internet Society Foundation and the side add-on to have a
replacement for the AMS, or the other way around?<br>
<br>
