Making the Move to Blackbaud CRM
The document discusses key considerations for implementing a new constituent relationship management (CRM) system, including where to store household and individual data and how to design areas like revenue, marketing, and prospecting to account for both. It also notes that classification lists are often long and codes should be mapped to actual words, and sufficient time should be allotted for conversion. Additionally, it provides examples of features in the Blackbaud CRM system like SmartFields, KPIs, queries, exports, datalists, reports, a data warehouse, email alerts, and RSS feeds.
