The Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois (CAPCIL) serves low-income families and senior citizens of Central Illinois.

Challenge & Solution

CAPCIL’s leaders knew that having their fund accounting software on the organization’s server made them vulnerable to loss in the event of catastrophe. Additionally, access to the system was limited, making it difficult and inconvenient for everyone across the partnership to enter and retrieve information.

Results

CAPCIL moved its MIP Accounting software off its server and into the cloud. Having MIP Cloud means information can be accessed from anywhere at any time, and operations can continue in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.

“Prior to moving to the cloud, we could remotely log into our desktop computers, but it was inconvenient and clunky,” said Alison Rumler-Gomez, Executive Director of CAPCIL. “Often when our CFO was away, things would basically come to a halt. Now, if I have a question and the CFO is at a training event in Washington, I can phone her and say, ‘Hey, can you get into the system? I need to get an employee report on Amanda.’ Just having that access has been fantastic. We are big fans.”

According to CAPCIL Executive Director Alison Rumler-Gomez, the nonprofit’s subscription to the MIP Cloud is fundamental to CAPCIL’s success. CAPCIL benefits from ironclad security, ensuring the partnership’s data is safe if and when disaster hits. Additionally, it provides everyone in the organization anytime/anywhere access.

“We addressed business continuity in our risk management plan, and realized that just having software loaded onto our server locally made us vulnerable,” Rumler-Gomez said. “Moving to the cloud subscription was really integral to us. If something happened to this building or if we had some sort of catastrophic event here, we’d still have access to everything by way of the cloud.”
