Ivan has been working in information technology (IT) for over 20 years in consultancy, project management, customer support, training and sales. He has been working with the not-for-profit sector since 1994 (initially for a database supplier of fundraising software) and he set-up my consultancy business in 1998. He now offers database/IT advice and consultancy solely to charities, the not-for-profit sector and membership organisations/professional bodies.The majority of his work revolves around database and CRM consultancy and project management. In particular: database procurement, database integration projects and project management on database implementations and other ICT projects.His… time originally spent working for a software supplier, and then the time since where he now works with charities, has meant he is fortunate to have gained a perspective on charity databases, working from both sides of the fence (and in some ways almost as a �poacher turned gamekeeper�). It has certainly helped his clients and him when working closely with database suppliers as he is able to understand both organisations� wishes and positions.Prior to working with the not-for-profit sector, he worked in several software houses and network suppliers with various applications over a range of industry sectors.He also manages �The IT Resource Guide for UK Charities and Non-Profit Organisations�: a web site for charities, listing IT products & services especially applicable to UK non-profit organisations. This can be found at www.itforcharities.co.uk. He blogs about databases for charities at http://blog.itforcharities.co.ukContact Details:Phone: + 44 (0)1959 522806Email: ivan@itforcharities.co.uk
