Being a "database manager" is a different role—with different responsibilities—than being the fundraising team’s chief power user. It’s not just writing queries, creating reports, and making mailing lists.  It’s long been different than that, with responsibilities for security, system configuration, policy and procedure development, documentation, training, user support, external and internal teams’ liaison, and more.

Come hear our presenter, an experienced Raiser’s Edge consultant, discuss what it means to be a “database manager” in 2025 and beyond. This will include both the ways in which things have remained consistent as we’re moving from the technology of Raiser’s Edge 7—and the database view—to the full web view of Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT, as well as the ways the role has evolved as we work with significantly more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more technically capable users.
