Interact Charity Edition is the preferred solution for the not-for-profit sector, enabling   organisations to focus completely on the needs of its beneficiaries and service users.

Accessibility - 'AA' compliant

Accessibility is at the heart of Interact. It is the only truly ‘AA’ compliant intranet out of the box, having been designed from the ground up, to fulfil all of the Disability Discrimination  Act’s recommendations whilst also being endorsed by independent experts.

Easy to use Intranet

Interact can be used, edited and administered by staff with even the most basic IT knowledge – simple editors, helpful tooltips and an intuitive interface combine to make Interact the simplest to use intranet software in the market.

Interact can help reduce your admin costs

Charities have a vast amount of information they need to communicate to a whole host of different people, from a part time volunteer working in a small shop, to the Chief Executive responsible for the organisations overall direction. A Charity must adhere strictly to an almost endless amount of legislation and governance, to the point at which it becomes more and more difficult to get on with the job at hand. A huge amount of time is laboriously wasted on often the most menial of tasks – the recording of expenses or the requesting of holidays, which is time-consuming and above all, expensive.

A well-designed, charity specific intranet can reduce these costs by ensuring communication is efficient, even when users are based in many different locations, and can improve the governance, accountability, efficiency and effectiveness of charities.

Royal Academy of Dance “As a charity, cost is often a key concern. Interact offered great functionality and flexibility, which is important to us all and at a very reasonable price.” Richard Bevan, ICT Manager, Royal Academy of Dance

A custom solution for your needs

But ease-of-use does not detract from Interacts powerful functionality – a host of charity-specific yet flexible tools are included with Interact Charity Edition, with the option of adding additional modules to engineer a completely custom solution for your organisation.  

Training Manager – manage LDQ, training and qualifications; essential in a legislation intensive environment. It will administer ongoing development to satisfy audits and award standards.

Absence Manager – Administer holidays, sicknesses and other absenses in this powerful HR tool.

Workflow and Forms – allows you to replace paper-based forms and processes with a managed workflow powered by Interact. Use it to collate information from fragmented sources, such as field workers or separate offices, and generate detailed reports and documents from it.

SMS Messenger – Send a message to a volunteer’s mobile who is out in the field from your desktop through the intranet.

Question Bank - Create multiple choice style tests and quizzes for users. Ensure users have a satisfactory level of understanding of company policies or could be part of the induction process for new starters.

Corporate Calendar – Organise fundraisers, manage internal projects and host social events, with attached articles, forums, blogs and quizzes.

KPI & Report Builder – Create complex graphs and management dashboards on the fly from live databases or spreadsheets, for instance income from donations or ethnic minority targets.

Blogging Tool – Share viewpoints in a less formal style, perhaps having a Chief Executive’s thoughts column ensuring everyone knows what is going on. 

Epilepsy Action “We were very impressed with Odyssey’s knowledge and expertise and their consultative approach is very valuble; they focussed on our needs and gained a complete understanding of our objectives demonstrating that they are more of a partner than merely software vendors” Mark Morton, Digital Media Manager, Epilepsy Action

The intranet can become the cornerstone of your organisation. It could be the portal to all other applications, the central store of information, the users HR file complete with up-to-date holiday bookings, the tool to record and administer expenses, the induction process and a host of other things.
