Ellyn LaVecchia

We are pleased to announce that Bulk Import, a capability powered by Blackbaud SKY, has been released to a segment of our North American Blackbaud CRM hosted customers.  We plan to extend Bulk Import to additional regions in 2019 and beyond.  We look forward to working with our customers around the globe as we plan our expansion. 

 
If you struggle to import data into Blackbaud CRM today, Bulk Import may be able to help.  Some key benefits to the new service include:

• Built to import large amounts of data quickly
• Allows for a wide array of fields to be imported at the same time – you are no longer limited to just the fields available in a batch type
• Can handle more advanced field mapping such as translation of codes, defaulting values, and more
• Receive updates and enhancements without having to do a service pack upgrade
• Does not impact current batch import tools in BBCRM.%u202F  

Minimum required Blackbaud CRM version for Bulk Import is v4.0 SP14. 

Additional resources available:

• Join us for a Spotlight on Bulk Import on August 16^th (invitations coming in early August)
