Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
We use NXT to manage our donor database and track gifts we receive, gifts pending, etc. Helps our development officers keep their portfolios efficient and productive. Helps our database manager produce reports showing progress. Helps our gift processing team import gift data
- Track gifts by event, campaign, appeal, etc.
- Allows us to easily organize portfolios and track donors
- Is user friendly for our development officers which leads to them utilizing the platform more than before our transition to NXT
- It was a bit of a transition for our development officers - there is a lot NXT can do and getting familiar with all of those functions can take a while
- I prefer working in database view and find it easier to pull reports and make changes to records in that view
- Confusion over the purpose of the list function has tripped us up and we tend to use query and export in database view instead
- Gift Entry
- Development Officer Portfolio Ease of Use
- Ability to easily view individual records as needed
- I do not have this information as my position has nothing to do with the contract with Blackbaud, the cost, etc. My boss is involved in that work and would know but I have not been told.
It has helped us in regards to portfolio reviews and making officers' portfolios more diverse and more potential for new and larger gifts.
- Online Training
I have only used RE. We are not planning on switching at any time. We just transitioned to Nxt last year.
