Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

Read up and ask for as much feedback from others using the product. DO internet searches for additional information and for specific issues other have come crossed.

Always make sure to ask any thirds party vendor what exactly their integration includes. Many companies claim to have an "integration," but when you get into how tight of an integration it is, it can be very superficial. Make sure you know exactly what you are getting and what you are paying for with an integration.

Take things step by step and ask for help when you get stuck. Use the outside company's tech support, the Blackbaud Community and Blackbaud support to help figure out the next steps. Frequently, others have got stuck at the same place that you have and can tell you how to get past the roadblock.

REACH OUT TO A TECH REP IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. SPEND SOME TIME IN ADVANCE LOOKING IN THE FORUMS TO SEE WHAT ADVICE OTHERS CAN OFFER. THE PROCESS IS BY NO MEANS INTUITIVE (MUCH LIKE PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE BACK END OF BLACKBAUD SYSTEMS). TRY TO AVOID LOOKING AT OUTDATED ARTICLES IN THE KNOWLEDGEBASE (OF WHICH THERE ARE VERY, VERY MANY).

I feel like they could build some additional queries or reporting that would improve the data analysis that is contained with in the system. This would help more non-technical users be able to pull the information they need quickly and easily. I often find myself having to pull data for other users.

If you have a need, reach out to Blackbaud. If they have enough interest, they may create an integration for that product. The SKY API is also robust and may support your needs.

I think for a small school with limited staff, integrations have helped to save us time and increased our efficiency. Having one main database that integrates and feeds to other systems has allowed us the flexibility to have multiple software systems but without having to deal with multiple data entry upkeep.

I would like to have more options in integrated products. It is not as inclusive as it should be. This is probably due to the fact that companies have to have an agreement in place perhaps that is what is holding the process back. It would be easier if there was more support staff available to help customers for longer than 15 minutes

Integration!

Make sure to think through the process carefully to make sure everything is integrated correctly. Mistakes can happen but it seems many of these integrated companies are open to change to keep improving their products.

Have patience when things malfunction and be prepared to go to both sides of the integration for answers - don't be dissuaded by one side or the other in placing blame on the other. With appropriate pressure you will find out the answer and be able to repair the issue
