Advantages of GiftWrap 4.0

GiftWrap 4.0 is a new Web-based version of GiftWrap, our industry-leading gift administration software. Existing users will find advantages to this upgrade in its achitecture as well as its  enhanced usability, flexibility, and power. GiftWrap 4.0 preserves all existing features and functionality – such as detailed tracking of information, payment processing, and tax filing, and incorporates many new and enhanced features, all of which are intended to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of your planned gift administration program.

Advantages of Web-based Architecture
GiftWrap 4.0’s Web-based architecture is among its most notable enhancements. GiftWrap 4.0 will effectively eliminate installation costs, upgrade costs, and maintenance costs for our clients, as well as the need to purchase hardware to support the application. As a result, GiftWrap 4.0 will make only minimal demands on your IT staff's time. And, with GiftWrap 4.0, you and your IT staff won’t have to worry about disaster recovery, backup procedures, or database corruption.  PG Calc will address these maintenance issues, as well as software updates, automatically and behind-the-scenes. Reduced costs and automatic access to the most up-to-date functionality; these are two hallmarks of GiftWrap 4.0.

Security of Hosted Data
PG Calc ensures the highest standards in security controls and procedures, and GiftWrap enables its users to benefit from high-end infrastructure and security without bearing the cost. From a data hosting perspective, we contract with one of the nation’s top web hosting providers, Rackspace, who maintains a sophisticated, high-capacity infrastructure with state of the art monitoring, full data encryption, and advanced virus protection for maximum security. They have full SAS 70 Type II certification and work with many major financial institutions. Within the application itself, your data will not interact with anyone else’s data –GiftWrap’s effective partitioning of business functions from application administration functions secures your data from unauthorized access.  And no unwanted eyes will be able to view your data thanks to two levels of data encryption, one at the database level, and the second on selected fields to ensure an even higher standard of privacy for selected information. Finally, access control is designed and enforced by role and user.

"When we began our search for a firm that could handle the administrative management of our new Charitable Gift Annuity Program, we had three important characteristics in our selection criteria: accuracy, reliability, and a sense they could ensure relationships with our donors would continue to meet our standards of excellence. PG Calc had it all. PG Calc brings a new level to customer service standards: Platinum."
