Has anyone contracted directly with Blackbaud for the use of Financial Edge NXT and not gone through a third party?

    Hi @Erica Palmer - I look forward to reading the comments from fellow community members, but in the meantime, I am also exploring other ways to get feedback from members who contracted directly with Blackbaud for Financial Edge NXT. Thanks for posting!

    @Erica Palmer We use FE NXT. Our contract is with Blackbaud. I'm not sure what info you're looking for.

    I was seeing if it was possible to contract directly with them. We have only used a third party to receive Financial Edge NXT software. We are wanting to get rid of the third party as the pricing for them has increased drastically.

    😊I was unaware you could get it from a third party. Both places I've worked have contract with Blackbuad for FE. Pricing is not cheap.

    Stay with Blackbaud for pricing. Our third party is charging us $19,000 more than what Blackbaud has quoted us for a 3 year contract.

    We went directly to Blackbaud, we have been using Financial Edge for about 10 years or so.
