One system, not six that disagree.

Most organisations run a ledger here, a staff list there, a course register in a spreadsheet and a website nobody can edit. Backbone holds them as one set of records, so a correction made once is a correction everywhere.

One set of records

A person hired through Recruitment becomes an employment record in People without being typed again.

One set of permissions

What somebody may see is decided once, by role, and applies to the ledger, the course register and the website alike.

One place to look

Finance, people, training and the public site are the same console, not four logins.

How an organisation gets started.

Choose what you need

Pick the modules that match how the organisation actually works. The rest stays out of the way until it is wanted.

Say what you are

Choose an industry and the vocabulary follows it, so the screens use the words the people in that trade already use.

Make it yours

Logo, palette, letterhead, numbering, approvals and who may do what are all settings rather than code.

Try it before it is real

Every plan includes a sandbox: a copy of the live system that sends no email and takes no payment, for training and for trying a change first.

Who it is for.

Companies

Supplies, contracting, manufacturing and services: quotations, projects, invoices, stock and payroll against one ledger.

Training institutions

Programmes, cohorts, facilitators, attendance, marking, certificates and the fees that go with them.

Non-profits

Programmes, beneficiaries, grants and reporting, with the audit trail a funder asks for already in place.

Groups

Several organisations under one roof, each with its own database, its own branding and its own people.

Your records, in your own database.

Every organisation on Backbone holds its own database rather than a partition of somebody else's. Your data has a boundary you can point at, a backup you can take, and an export you can leave with.

Separate, not partitioned

A tenant's records live in a database of their own, so the boundary is a boundary rather than a filter somebody has to get right.
