About the Client

Insight Global is partnering with a mission‑driven SaaS company that builds technology to help communities connect people, resources, and services—during both everyday operations (“blue skies”) and crises or disasters (“grey skies”).

The company develops and deploys CommunityOS®, a specialized Platform‑as‑a‑Service designed specifically for community service management and disaster relief. The platform enables organizations to connect assets to needs and build strong operational links between nonprofits, government agencies, staff, volunteers, and clients.

Their customers are change agents supporting millions of people nationwide, with thousands of staff and volunteers operating in every U.S. state. Use cases span community services, information and referral (including 2‑1‑1), healthcare and human services, workforce development, disaster response, long‑term recovery, and community resilience.

Creator of one of the first comprehensively configurable platforms, allowing customers to adapt nearly every aspect of the system—roles, permissions, forms, fields, pages, menus, and workflows—without custom development
