The arrival of the Total Web Solution for Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is coming soon, while the end of the Database View lies ahead. How should database managers prepare themselves and their teams for this big transition after all the changes this year and those still coming? This session will recommend which users on your team should be using which Web View functions (present and anticipated), and how to train and support your users in that transition. While the presenter is a huge proponent of the Web View, this won’t be a marketing pitch; it will be an honest presentation about the tools in both views that organizations are using successfully and how he, as a long-term full-time Raiser's Edge consultant having worked with dozens of organizations, has seen happy customers. This session will be specific ,practical, realistic, and honest. Specific areas to be addressed include gift entry, constituent updates, mailings, reporting, direct marketing (mailings and emailing), major gifts, and leadership with training and support guidance for these users. We’ll also discuss how DBMs can realistically stay on top of these and future changes.
