Abila, which acquired the former Sage Nonprofit Solutions, has brought the MIP name back to the nonprofit software market. We should say, it has formally brought the name back because MIP, short for the former Micro Information Products, has been in active use among the reseller and user community despite its official disappearance. Abila says the decision was in response to customer feedback. "We listened to our customers and brought back the MIP name for our fund accounting solution, signifying a rich tradition in software going back 30 years," says Abila CEO Krista Endsley. Micro Information Products first released the product in 1982. After it was acquired by Sage in 2001, it disappeared under Sage's rebranding and was finally known as Sage 100 Fund Accounting. The product is now Abila MIP Fund Accounting. For the other products acquired from the Sage, the renaming was simply a matter of replacing the name Sage with the word, Abila. The other renamed products are Abila Fundraising 50, Abila Fundraising Online, Abila Grant Management, Abila Nonprofit Online and Abila Millennium
