Amplifund banks on the public sector’s low expectations

Most government teams are used to dealing with clunky, outdated tech. Amplifund delivers more of the same. One agency had to create a 62-page document just to instruct applicants how to use the software.⁵

Amplifund customers say:

“Amplifund in general actually made it more difficult for us to manage our subrecipient awards than the Excel spreadsheet we had been using.” ⁶
“Amplifund is not intuitive in the least. I've been working with PCs ever since 1982 so this ain't my first rodeo.”⁷
“Inefficient, troublesome product. Zero intuitiveness, ZERO Support.” ⁸
