“Transitioning to Realm was easy, especially for me, a novice computer person. We followed their easy implementation plan and they handled the migration of our data. We were also able to initiate online giving in a snap!”

Consultation
We're by your side each step along the way.
We can help you make a smooth transition. It’s something we guide churches through nearly every day. Our team is standing by to assist you.
Moving your staff over to Realm can be a clear, straight-forward process. Our team can work with you to develop a plan for mapping over your profiles, groups, and contributor records. We can also review your data after it has been converted and offer suggestions for any remaining clean-up.
We offer direct, one-on-one instruction from certified trainers who can walk you through key areas of your setup process. This 2-hour guided assistance is conducted online through our web conferencing tools and may be divided into two 1-hour increments if preferred. Any number of your staff are welcome to sit together for this training. Instruction will cover whatever areas you wish to prioritize for your training, such as: admin setup, managing people profiles, giving, ministry areas, and accounting.
With thousands of successful launches already to their credit, our launch team can help you utilize proven best practices to achieve your ministry goals. Many of our coaches are former church staff who understand how churches operate. We can help you implement Realm effectively and launch it successfully to your staff and congregation.
Realm is an excellent tool for your ministry staff, but it also connects your members in amazing new ways. After you’ve transitioned your staff to Realm, we can equip them with ideas, materials, and guidance for rolling out Realm’s free mobile app (Realm Connect) to your entire church.
