BLACKBAUD STARTS MARKETPLACE Featured

Chris Clinton, BlackbaudThere must be something in the nonprofit air. Last month, nonprofit software vendor, Abila, opened its online partner market place. This month, Blackbaud, the big boy on the NFP block, opened the Blackbaud Partner Marketplace, which it described as "the world's first online marketplace dedicated to the nonprofit, charitable giving and education communities, featuring products that extend and enhance Blackbaud solutions." I suppose that's a first because Blackbaud covers segments of the NFP market that Abila doesn't?

The company said the products already featured fall into more than 30 vertical markets and it listed the following vendors as launch partners: ADP, Attend.com, EverTrue, Graduway, PaperSave, Paramount Technologies, PushUp Social, Small World Labs, SmartThing, Social Tables, VolunteerHub, WebThriftStore and Zeidman Development. More is to come relatively soon. "We're already building out phase-two functionality and working through a robust pipeline of new marketplace candidates, as we remain committed to adding new products regularly that help more customers and partners connect to make a positive, collective impact on the industry," Chris Clinton, VP of Blackbaud's global channels and partner ecosystem, said in a prepared statement. I assume this has been in the works because it wouldn't be possible to put something together that quickly in response to Abila, would it?
