The company’s cloud-based Raiser’s Edge NXT and Financial Edge NXT ship this fall. However, CEO Mike Gianoni noted, “We have sold several hundred units of Financial Edge and Raiser’s Edge NXT in advance of the release." He also said there are 30 customers live on pre-release versions. CFO Tony Boor noted the transition to the new subscription based products is expected to last from 24 through 36 months. Customers purchasing the current desktop products are in essence buying an upgrade that includes the purchase of the NXT products when they are available. That will shift license revenue from the installed base to the future and includes bundled components that had previously been sold and priced separately.
