Our History
Six United Way organizations were founding members of the non-profit Upic Solutions in 2001. A commercial data center was built, specifically for United Way organizations and in 2004, Shared IT Services were added to our offering. This allowed the merging of six United Way IT departments – creating efficiencies and financial savings.
Due to the time-consuming process for United Ways, a pledge processing service was added to serve our customers. Tailored online giving sites were launched for United Ways and grew rapidly in response to demand. In 2016, moving Upic’s products to the cloud created more agility and capacity, faster access, improved security, and a better user experience. To provide members with the best donor engagement software and marketing experience, a partnership with Salesforce was formed. Partnering with KnowBe4 helped to increase the defense against cyber-attacks and other security threats with training. As Salesforce.org launched the Philanthropy Cloud in partnership with United Way, we began support to its customers by providing data integration to local donor management systems.
Today, we serve over 50 percent of United Ways with a broad range of shared services and products, helping them to increase community impact while saving money.
