Saving staff time. Improving donor relations.
By improving the Alzheimer Association’s revenue processing system, we were able to cut labor requirements, improve efficiencies and, most important, acknowledge donor support in a more timely and professional manner.
“Barker and Scott had the experience and expertise we needed to reengineer our gift processing.”
The Details
Barker & Scott performed a detailed review and re-engineering of the National Headquarters’ entire revenue processing workflow. 
Barker & Scott utilized its best practice knowledgebase to deliver a set of improvements that addressed all the key components of Alzheimer’s Association’s revenue processing system – people (skills/training for existing staff in Donor Services, Revenue Support Services, Finance, the Contact Center, and other departments), process and data (mail, coding, data entry, system processing, and reporting procedures), and technology (enhancements to CRM and other applications).
