Database Sherpa

The wisdom of a Sherpa.The reward of your practice. A unique approach to database design and development for nonprofits using or considering Salesforce. Data can be an important part of your organization’s story, providing insight about your work and helping you make better decisions. But caring for it to uncover a useful story is no small feat. It involves more than simply finding the tool with the most features. Think of it this way: A mountain climber beginning a life-changing expedition does more than buy the best equipment. She asks the experts about the terrain, maps out a route that will suit the conditions, and seeks the guidance of someone who has done it before—a Sherpa—to join her in achieving the goal. We are Database Sherpa, and we know that applying the same approach to database design and development can be transformational for your organization. We have met organizations at every point in their trek to database clarity, including those that are: - Trying to organize mountains of data into information that is easy to use and meaningful in decision-making. - Evolving away from basic data management tools but unsure of which solution would be best. - Starting to collect data but unsure of the questions to ask and the features to choose. Collectively, we bring decades of experience to each project while still meeting each organization where it is. We know the path to a better database, can point out the pitfalls before they become big problems, and will share good practices at every turn. Perhaps most importantly, we believe that missteps and learning are all part of the process… you’ll have the freedom to explore without the fear of “failing.” So take a deep breath. We know this mountain, and we are ready to help you climb it.
