Why another cloud platform?

Does the world really need another cloud platform? We already have Google Workplace and Microsoft 365 among others for your file storage, document editing, email. There’s already many drag and drop website builders like Wix and Squarespace. And for charities, churches, advocacy groups, and any other non-profit organization, there are a myriad of CRM’s to choose from. So, what gives?

Glad you asked! First, Kumuli is the only cloud platform that tries to combine all of these needs into one place. We want to offer you the benefits of Google Workplace, Wix and your favourite CRM without having to manage 3 different products. Second, you can manage all your apps in one easy-to-use control panel and third, your data stays safe with you. If that hasn’t sold you right away, here’s some of the headaches you can avoid:

Needing to give the same user access to multiple products

This might not seem like the end of the world, but we want to save you even this headache. Kumuli’s Control Panel lets you add a user once and then give them access to all the apps they need access to on one convenient permissions page.

Forgetting to delete users

Forgetting to delete user accounts is common. A staff member or volunteer leaves your organization and they’ve been access to a number of these apps. You got into each one and remove their access, but miss an app. This leads to security issues since they have to access to data they aren’t support to have anymore, but also, they can keep costing you money. For example, if you forget to remove their access from Google Workplace or Microsoft 365, you pay per user. This can add hundreds or thousands of dollars to your bill every year that you don’t need to be paying.

So, with having your user managed in one place, like you get with Kumuli, you can go to the user once and remove all their access. Done. Easy. Don’t think about it again.

Domain name complexities

You register your domain name through GoDaddy. Then you need to point it to your Wix so when they go to your-great-website.com, you’re website shows up. But you also need to link it to Google Workplace for your email accounts. Why not register your domain, point it to your website and email software all from one place? We make that easy with just a few clicks.

Unforeseen IT Expenses

Unless your tech savvy yourself, in order to get by in today’s digital world, you need to hire an IT guy, even if it’s outsourcing to an IT firm. We want to make setting up and managing your digital life so easy, you might not need an IT guy anymore, at least for your online software. We do all the heavy lifting so that software can just work for you and you can get back to running your charity.

Moral complexities

Believe it or not, there’s an underlying, often ignored moral complexity involved with using some of these other products like Microsoft and Google. If you use their products for everything, they can know almost everything there is to know about your organization. Maybe that doesn’t bother you personally, but with all the uncertainty of how that’s data is being used, it can offer a lot of comfort other staff, volunteers and people you help knowing that data is in safe hands.
