How can my organization become "TNT-compatible"?

Filed under:

Even on its own, TntMPD is a powerful tool for ministry partner development.  But by integrating TntMPD with your organization's donation system:

  • You eliminate many hours of manual data entry each month for each staff member who uses the tool.
  • You remove barriers that keep your staff fully organized and fully funded.
  • You strongly encourage your staff and send a strong message that you care about them.

TntMPD accommodates several ways of receiving detailed contribution data:

  • By connecting to your donation system over the Web.  This is often the most powerful way for your staff to connect with your donation system.  This option allows your staff to stay current with up to the minute donation data as it becomes available.  The web protocol is documented, and your developers could provide a custom implementation against your donation system.  There are also two prebuilt solutions that are available:  

    • TntMPD.DataServer (software).  This system can provide a TntMPD-compatible download for your staff.  Tools and documentation are provided to allow you to custom integrate TntMPD.DataServer with your own donation system.  TntMPD.DataServer already includes pre-built integration templates for:
    • DonorElf (website & service).  This system not only provides your staff a web-based solution for downloading donations into TntMPD, but it also provides a web-based CRM your staff can use.  It can integrate with the following systems:
      • Quickbooks
      • Raiser's Edge
      • eTapestry
      • PowerChurch
      • Contact Paul Yoder if you want your accounting system integrated too   
          
  • By sending your staff a monthly (or weekly) TntMPD DataSync file.  Another very powerful way is to regularly send your staff a TntMPD DataSync file.  Sending this file as an email attachment makes it incredibly easy for your staff to sync to the data.  All they have to do is double-click on the attachment.  Another alternative is to have a secure website location where the file can be made available.
