An introduction to CiviCRM for the Drupal UK community for the Drupal Show and Tell event on 15th August 2013 London.
Slides by Compucorp Ltd.
ere at Compucorp we're an IT consultancy specialising in open source solutions.
We've worked with clients big and small, from NHS hospitals to newly formed non-profit organisations, with the aim of helping them be the best they can.
We've been working with CiviCRM for a number of years now and we've learnt a lot in that time. We know how to focus your team by asking the right questions, how to manage a project to be flexible when requirements change and most of all, how to be obsessive about quality when delivering under pressure.
We can help you with new and existing Civi installations, configuration, custom extension development, hosting, training and telephone support. We'd love to hear from you so do get in touch and we can have a chat about your project.
We're also pleased to be Consultancy Partner for CiviHR, to be developers of the new CiviBooking module and to be maintainers for the UK Gift Aid extension.
