Kiva hasn't connected nearly 2 million entrepreneurs in the developing world with $785 million in microloans by moving slowly. Yet the nonprofit found itself held back by antiquated technology that caused delays and imprecision in its financing and reporting processes. Cumbersome manual processes and disparate data sets made auditing and IRS compliance complicated, and expense reports were often delayed a week or more.
