Blackbaud's Innovative Software Solution Helps
Provide Holistic View of Constituents
CHARLESTON, S.C., Feb. 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the leading provider of
software for powering social impact, today shared how Mississippi State University's Division of
Development and Alumni is using Blackbaud CRM™ for alumni
engagement and to help drive fundraising efforts.
A Blackbaud customer since 2005, the Division of Development and
Alumni at Mississippi State University
serves its 161,000 living alumni and facilitates most fundraising
activities. The Division needed a comprehensive, agile and
adaptable CRM system for advancement and alumni engagement, and
after carefully considering other CRM systems, knew that Blackbaud
CRM met its unique needs.
"We wanted a sophisticated advancement CRM system that was
strong out-of-the-box and that we could customize as our needs
evolved," said Leann M. Markham,
executive director of information services for the division.
"Between all the vendors we evaluated, Blackbaud CRM was hands down
everyone's favorite choice. It's all encompassing, and the open
APIs allow us to easily integrate with other third-party
software."
Blackbaud CRM's ability to be easily customized, configured, and
integrated with third-party tools allows organizations to extend
the already robust software's capabilities to further improve
operational efficiencies. With Blackbaud CRM, staff across multiple
departments operate within a single source of truth, giving
everyone a holistic view of constituents like never before.
"The implementation of Blackbaud CRM itself was a smooth
process, and even more impressive was how simple it was to
integrate 360MatchPro from Double-the-Donation," said Markham. "The
data presented is more comprehensive and easier to access and
understand. We automated manual processes and expect to see an
increase in dollars raised and matched in future fundraising
campaigns."
