Tell Us Your Thoughts on the Product Update Briefings and Get an Exclusive Badge!

Just finished learning about all the wonderful things Blackbaud Grantmaking is doing and what's ahead. First, let me say, it's always great having @Brenda Noiseux present. She makes us excited about the experiences of BB Grantmaking. We are in talks about adding Application Portal and I am so excited to learn about all the features. Thanks for also listening to our comments and incorporating them into “Your Input Matters”. Thanks @Benton Austin for letting us know what's going on TODAY. Appreciate being able to delete in batches. I will say my top key take away was the security enhancements - TDE and Intelligence (Responsible - Powerful - Accessible). Thanks BB Grantmaking for having 10 sessions available at BBCON this year.

Since I can't find specific links for the Online Giving and Payment Services PUBs, I was happy to hear that Online Giving will have the ability to review data before the gifts are committed, with matching of constituents as we can in OLX. I was also happy to hear that the credit card update report will include the cards that failed to update so that development staff can contact those donors.

I was excited by the number of really important features that will be coming over to NXT in the next year and a half. With the introduction of those, hopefully I can persuade my team to work less on database view and more on NXT. It's been very difficult so far due to functionality of NXT. I am looking forward to Direct Debits being bought in to the UK.

Will be interested to see the development of the online giving function, which is in test mode for the US/Canada

As a Canadian user, it was nice to see at least some references to when they expect to do the international roll-outs. I like the new batching functionality, and I'm excited to see the Gift Summary and Detail Report going online!

I am excited that the timeline is progressing and many of the new functionality items around gifts, queries, and reporting looked great in the demos. I, being an old timer with Blackbaud, still have anxiety about the sunsetting of DBV even though I know a date has for that has not yet been determined. I also am curious as to how much of the functionality that we need will require us to purchase third party apps/plugins as the cost for the product is extremely high and lots of extra purchases could push our org to consider alternatives.

Looking forward to the new product updates, specifically those available in the Canadian market.

It really seems like updates are being sped along. It will be interesting to see if the timeline holds!

I'm really into the new platform that BB is using for these sessions. Goldcast seems like a good choice.
