BLACKBAUD TROTS OUT CLOUD APPS Featured

Mike Gianoni, BlackbaudNonprofit software vendor Blackbaud has introduced two cloud-based applications, Raiser’s Edge NXT and Financial Edge NXT. The Charleston, S.C.-based software publisher is apparently preparing its plans for transitioning from desktop to cloud products. In the NXT announcement, the company said it will continue to support the on-premise packages, The Raiser's Edge and The Financial Edge and has plans to enhancement them during the fall. These steps will be outlined at bbcon 2104, the annual conference for nonprofits.

In the press release that described the changes, CEO Mike Gianoni said, “Not only will nonprofits experience all the benefits of the cloud—such as a lower total cost of ownership and reduced administrative overhead—they will also benefit from an unparalleled user experience, and powerful built-in tools that help them expand the reach of their missions while improving organizational efficacy.” Okay, that's the cloud usual pitch. More interesting is that the company said intends to continue investing in eTapestry, the Raiser’s Edge line, Luminate CRM and Blackbaud CRM. “The Financial Edge” is listed only in that sentence about continuing support, not in the one about investing. We’ll have to check out whether that’s intentional.
