  • This has become a way of sharing information across departments that otherwise would have dropped off the radar in the hustle of business. We can now speak intelligently about a stakeholder or a situation by accessing appropriate records instead of having to wait for the next meeting or phone call to discuss the situation.

  • I don't think we have done anything unexpected or innovative. In may opinion it is easier to use NXT to add notes on a record to document an interaction with a donor or potential donor.
  • I like the function that allows me to click on the address in a record and immediately see where someone lives using google maps.

  • Having the mobile app has been a huge benefit for our fundraisers because they are now able to look up basic information on donors to prepare for a meeting instead of having to call me from the road to look up information on donor records.
  • We did not expect to utilize the email marketing tool in Online Express as often as we have and it has been a pleasant surprise.
