Paint a Picture with Your Data

Mary Shockley

My sister and I have been trying to go to one of these drink-wine-while-you-paint places. We both come from creative backgrounds—she’s a writer, and I’m a designer. However, neither of us is a painter!

On their calendar of events page, the venue shows what attendees will paint each day. Based on the picture, you choose which session to attend. They have different levels of difficulty—the hardest is painting your pet, and the easiest is landscapes and still lifes. There’s also a couples’ night, when two attendees paint halves of a picture that when put together make a whole. This got me thinking …

Raiser’s Edge and Luminate Online are like the two separate canvases from couples’ night. While each piece is important and an artwork of its own, putting them together—or integrating them—helps your organization see the full picture.

With Raiser’s Edge and Luminate Online integration, constituent information, donations, and eCommerce purchases transfer between the two systems automatically. The optional RE:Event module syncs event registration information, as well. Merge your donor database with your constituent’s online activities, so your organization always has the most comprehensive data. And integration reduces the need for data imports and prevents data entry mistakes, so the picture will be clear.

Create your own masterpiece. Our revamped eLearning course Basics of Raiser's Edge and Luminate Online Integration can show you how to seamlessly synchronize your data between Raiser’s Edge and Luminate Online.
