SCOPE

Business Requirements

• Training4Changes is a non-profit organization that provides leadership and skills training for South African youth. They use futsal (hard court football) as a way to integrate the youths’ lifestyles and draw them into safer environments that enhance life growth. They have various programs that teach life skills and futsal, as well as training for coaches involved with the youth.

• As such, the not-for-profit organization has donors that support its mission. Most of these are based in the United States.

• The organization deals with its donors in a more relational way, instead of transactional. This means they nurture the relationship through continued contact and communication, using phone, email, instant messaging, snail mail, and other types of communication.

• So far, they have around a hundred active donors.

• The organization will need a system that will keep track of donors and their donations. Basically a fundraising system. Details will be discussed in configuration sessions.

• Training4Changes will have three full-time employees who will use the system.

• Daniel Thomae has gone through the Netsuite Essentials Training in December 2013.
