Gift of Technology

Archer provides the gift of technology so volunteers can focus on helping people, not managing information.

Archer believes that our technology can help people and improve our communities. With that in mind, we have gifted our product to YouthFriends, a nonprofit mentoring organization that inspires youth and engages the adult community to help young people succeed. Using the Archer SmartSuite Framework, YouthFriends is able to manage their mentoring and volunteer programs from a central, web-enabled solution.

Archer's Community Service and Professional Services teams have volunteered their time to YouthFriends to help the organization build custom applications on the Archer SmartSuite Framework to support their mission-critical processes. YouthFriends’ implementation of the Archer product replaces a decade-old tool that needed significant updates to meet the organization’s needs. By deploying Archer applications instead of revamping their existing tool, YouthFriends has saved months of effort and millions of dollars in design and development costs.
