Raiser’s Edge Read-Only
Posted Wednesday, July 27th, 2005 at 3:52 pm
At 3:00 p.m. today, Lambda Chi Alpha’s 10-year old membership management software was switched to read-only.
No longer will our staff use Blackbaud’s Raiser’s Edge to update our membership database. Starting next week, they will begin using iMIS by Advanced Solutions International.
This is a big change for Lambda Chi Alpha. The transition is occurring while most of the staff is out of town running our annual conference, giving JB and I the chance to close down the old system, import the data into the new system, and test.
Sure, the next few months will be bumpy with user training, learning a new system, importing missing data, writing new reports, etc. But it’s needed.
iMIS will give Lambda Chi Alpha a more flexible membership management system that will also tie to a new website, which we will begin building once our internal transition is complete.
