Blackbaud: The Raiser’s Edge™

The Raiser's Edge™ developed by Blackbaud Inc. (www.blackbaud.com) is the leading software package for managing your fundraising activities. Our consultants are skilled experts in all aspects of The Raiser's Edge™, including data conversions, migrations and repairs; upgrades; importing, exporting & segmentation.  Since we have been in business, we have worked on more than 130 Raiser’s Edge client databases.

 

Data Conversion

In 2000, Blackbaud Inc. hired Michitsch Systems to conduct Data Conversions on their behalf.  Shortly afterward, they made the strategic decision to run all their conversions in-house; however, Michitsch Systems continues to conduct data conversions for clients who choose not to hire Blackbaud for the service.  Our experts have converted hundreds of data files from various systems including websites, event tracking and auction software and Campus Call software, to name a few.

 

Diagnostics

Our structured, systematic approach to database assessment has a proven track record with our clients.  Through careful analysis, we identify inconsistencies and areas of concern.  We conduct data cleanup, as well as establish safeguards for you to carry forward – so that you can be confident that your data is accurate and up to date.

 

Optimization

We can help you optimize your Raisers’ Edge capabilities – by developing user-friendly database features that suit your needs and support your fundraising goals.  We can assist you with all aspects of database organization and policy development to ensure that your system continues to run smoothly.
