1 - 2022 - It is important to have a full-time database manager in the very least.
  • Moves management
  • Gift tracking
  • Donor retention
  • Marketing
  • Event management
2022 update - Frequent issues with down times and removal of capabilities with little notice have many organizations looking for something similar. The fact remains that no other system is as robust as Raiser's Edge NXT. I have my eye out for other products to improve and don't discount the possibility of ending our contract in the future.
