At Gartner Symposium/ITxpo, Heifer International’s Chief
Financial Officer will share how the organization built a global
technology platform to support the organization’s mission of ending
world hunger and poverty. Heifer International, based in Little
Rock, Arkansas, has helped 22.6 million families lift themselves
out of hunger and poverty for more than 70 years through
sustainable agriculture.
The presentation will take place on Wednesday, October 7 at 1:45
PM in Walt Disney World Dolphin, Southern 5.
“With a mission of ending hunger and poverty, leveraging
technology for increased effectiveness and efficiencies is
paramount,” said Bob Bloom, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of Heifer International. “As we scale our impact,
creating a digital platform with robust capability will enable us
to direct more of our donor resources toward the small-holder
farmer communities we work with.”
As Chief Financial Officer, Bloom oversees all financial,
treasury, technology and human resources activities. Since joining
Heifer, he has led the organization’s technology transformation
initiative. This includes deploying Laserfiche enterprise content
management (ECM) so staff can quickly review, approve and access
project-related contracts using Laserfiche electronic forms and
robust workflow automation solutions.
“Our vision is that all of our remote and local workers across
the globe will use Laserfiche, which will help us work more
efficiently with every dollar we spend to help others,” said
Bloom.
“Heifer International is leveraging Laserfiche as a key part of
its technology ecosystem to transform its business,” said Thomas
Phelps IV, CIO and Chief Corporate Strategist at Laserfiche.

information necessary to deploy aid quickly and cost-effectively,
