ResearchPoint June 2016 (4.9) Release!

Published

This past weekend, we updated ResearchPoint standalone customers to the June 2016 (4.9) release. Here is a summary of the new features in case you missed the announcement in the product's help pane when you logged in after the update. 

To improve your experience in the product, in this release of  Target Analytics ResearchPoint we focused on quality (bug fixes and performance improvements), updating data sources, and  continued work on a larger new feature for future release. We recommend you share this information with all ResearchPoint users in your organization.

Household Mosaic Link Update

Recently, Experian released an update to their Mosaic audience tool. As part of this tool, they enabled login and password protection to the information we use in ResearchPoint. Because of this, our existing link was no longer active. We updated this broken link in ResearchPoint to use the Experian Audience Guide [PDF]. You can continue to look up the household Mosaic code for your prospect.  

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2

With this release, we updated to .NET 4.5.2 to support the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 protocol for enhanced communication security over the Internet. 

Target Analytics Data Updates

Since our 4.8 release, we have refreshed the data for NOZA, Federal Elections Commission (FEC), and CoreLogic in our Target Analytics database.

Now, when you perform WealthPoint screenings on a prospect’s wealth and ratings record, or when you perform a screening on your research lists, you'll have the latest philanthropic gifts, political donations, and real estate assets.

Upcoming Update to ResearchPoint

For the June 2016 update, while you may not see many updates when you use ResearchPoint, we are excited to tell you about work we're in development on for an improved sign-on experience for ResearchPoint.

We are in the middle of incorporating Blackbaud's single sign-on experience with the Omnibar. This new feature enables you to sign into ResearchPoint, the Blackbaud website, and other single sign-on enabled products with one login credential.

To prepare for this update, we recommend you ready your team for the transition! Review our recommendations in the 4.90 release notes!
