Lamplight

But can an off the shelf system work for me?

In the past if you wanted a new suit you went to a tailor. He measured and made a suit to fit and you paid a correspondingly high price. Now beautiful suits are made ready to wear for any occasion at affordable prices.

In the past if you wanted a new book you had to order it handwritten by candlelight in a distant monastery, now you can buy one ready printed and have it delivered to your door.

In the past if you wanted a computer you needed to build it yourself, now you can pick up a computer with everything you need ready-built at a fraction of the cost.

In the past if you wanted a database you hired someone to build one for you, now there's Lamplight.

Just as you don't need to create a different word processor for each different subject you write about so each organisation, for the most part, does not need its own bespoke database.

Lamplight is used by organisations across the sector: frontline, local infrastructure, specialist infrastructure, large, small, youth, carers, mental health, domestic violence, employment, advice, advocacy, case work, community centres, churches, housing associations, refugees, architecture and design, brain injury, sexual health, drugs and alcohol misuse and more. Lamplight works for all these types of organisation.

Too often we hear stories of organisation whose bespoke database has become unusable or obsolete because the programmer or volunteer who built it is no longer around. With Lamplight your database is in your hands with the added security of knowing the system is supported by a well-established database service provider. We host, update and maintain the system so you don't have to worry.
