COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, December 31, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- akaCRM Joins the Salesforce.com Foundation's Power of Us Partner Program and Releases Constituency Relationship Management for Religious Institutions

akaCRM, a professional services firm which provides comprehensive services for salesforce.com customers, announced today that it has joined the Salesforce.com Foundation's Power of Us Partner program. The company also announced the availability of the Fellowship and Worship Center, a solution for churches and synagogues to help them to manage operations in the cloud.

Built on the Force.com platform, Fellowship and Worship Center users can improve program management such as membership, donations, volunteers and operations like calendaring and responding to congregation requests directly within their Salesforce CRM deployment.

"Churches and synagogues face challenges similar to many for-profit organizations, including the need to manage the many facets of their community," said Karen Stock, principal, akaCRM. "By becoming a member of the Power of Us, we're able to give forward and extend our services to the nonprofit community at a discounted rate to help them address this disparity."

Stock added, "Religious organizations often purchase tools that do not provide them with the flexibility and ability to meet their growing needs. With the Fellowship and Worship Center, they have the ultimate solution with the power and agility to manage programs so people are active, financially supportive and engaged in the community. By building Fellowship and Worship Center on the Force.com platform, we are able to deliver it and eliminate the need to buy hardware, backup software and equipment for customers so they may reallocate funds to where they can be best utilized."

The Power of Us partner program is designed to increase the impact of the Salesforce.com Foundation on the global nonprofit community by increasing the number of technology partners to provide add-on services and products to non-profits further enhancing their ability to solve problems faster using world class tools. The Salesforce.com Foundation also mentors companies to successfully incorporate salesforce.com's 1/1/1 integrated corporate philanthropy model - 1% Time, 1% Equity and 1% Product - so that they too can do well, while doing good. Today there are more than 100 companies around world that are part of the Salesforce.com Foundation's Power of Us program.

"The Salesforce.com Foundation's Power of Us initiative allows our partners like akaCRM to join us in helping nonprofits utilize technology to empower their missions," said Suzanne DiBianca, executive director, Salesforce.com Foundation. "AkaCRM is providing its services to the organizations in the nonprofit sector to help them manage operations with enterprise-class tools in the cloud."
