“I wish I could’ve recorded their [staff] facial
expressions when they saw it [Raiser’s Edge NXT].
When they understood what it changed for them. They
had been hesitant to make the change, but once they
were working in it, their faces were glowing! And most
of them have now said, ‘NOW, we are ready to do our
jobs!’”

One #1 guiding principle was to make the transition to NXT easy for you
No loss of functionality
No data conversion
No re-implementation
Access anytime, anywhere – mobile device in a coffee shop, tablet in the back of a car, travelling to your next appointment, in the office, at home, etc. Every user has their preference for how they want to access information, and NXT will enable it.
Expand # people who can leverage the information in RE AND save time for the database manager
We wanted to enable
Sending donor profiles with the click of a button. Sending a profile should be a link, not a report you have to run. Just like Anthony texted me a link to a constituent a few minutes ago
Development Officers actually enter in their key interactions with donors vs. asking the database administrator to do it because they don’t know how to use the system well
Enabling executives and development directors to access key information on their own. Instead of asking a DBA to run reports and analyze who to focus on, executives and Development Directors have the information they need at the fingertips and can access it on their own
The first thing we are doing to enable this, is RE NXT will be unlimited users. Anyone that you give access to can use the system…any time…any where.
The second thing we did is we built a simple, beautiful user interface that anyone can use. You don’t have to be an RE expert to use it.
We believe this will significantly cut down the time the primary RE users spend running reports and passing them around, entering data for other people.
…We wanted NXT to be more more than just a new interface…it will also provides insights and clear cut intelligence to those who need it – leveraging embedded analytics, such as wealth ratings or ask amounts AND built-in best practices to help you achieve better fundraising.
I heard a quote from a customer that really resonated with me. This customer told me “There is SO much good data in our Raiser’s Edge database. However, we have to work harder in order to be smarter and use this great data.” We want you to work less to be smarter and improve your fundraising results
Take the example from the role play Anthony and I did earlier – RE NXT told me there are three people who need my attention, and it suggested the action I should take with the yellow star. It also leveraged information from embedded analytics that are included with RE NXT, such as wealth
Anticipate what you will want to do, such as have a senior person make a personal call to a new high value donor; mark an action for the Development Director to assign them a solicitor)
We felt it was important to take a role-based approach with deep nonprofit expertise to the user interface. We wanted to focus on the jobs to be done. The person conducting high touch fundraising needs a different view into the application than the person doing data entry, which is different from the Development Director assigning solicitors and managing overall fundraising.
Put information in the hands of people who use it where they need it
We felt that if we could deliver on those guiding principles, we would enable our customers to unlock even more value from their data.
Widespread access to information people need
Free up time for the database administrators to
Sometimes it feels like what’s the point. Now we can unlock the chains of the data, get it out in real time to the people who need it. We can overwhelm those in the audience who spend their valuable time building reports, lists, profiles all with the effort to get the information to the people who need it. It causes friction, it causes a lack of cohesion.
We want to inspire the organization all to see the value in the data they collect and manage, because there is amazing data that you’ve collected over the years. Now we need to unleash it.

So what are the components of Raiser’s Edge NXT?
First, is the new web-based user interface. You’ll see more of it in just a few minutes
The interface serves up information in meaningful ways via a role-based interface (the jobs to be done).
The initial version is focused on fundraisers, executives, and development directors.
And…we are very quickly going to expand the jobs and roles. Expect a new release every 1-2 months that expands the breadth of this new interface
[Jay]
Being in the cloud gives us the opportunity to give you a completely new experience for using our products.
If you want to use facebook, is it hard to remember what link or web site to go to? How about gmail?
You want to access RE NXT? go to Blackbaud.com and sign in with your ONE login id that accesses Blackbaud.com, RE NXT, FE NXT, and (over time) other Blackbaud products
While you are using RE, you want to access another product such as Financial Edge NXT or the Blackbaud Merchant Services portal, click in the upper left corner and move to the other product. No more having to remember or bookmark launch pages
You want to access online training through Training Central or our online community or Knowledgebase? You are already logged in and a click away
You have a question you need to ask to a knowledgeable support analyst? In the product select chat with a representative…we automatically know your organization, who you are, and what product you are in so you go right through to the right person. We are even going to build Knowledgebase results into
Have you ever had to deactivate someone who left your organization from multiple products? How about if you go to one place to deactivate them?

All users will have access to the new web-based interface, but other users needing deeper system access will use the classic Raiser’s Edge interface
RE NXT leverages our reliable RE7 database is its foundational data source. This enables
No loss of functionality.
Minimized Change Management
Existing Integrations with products continue to function (Luminate Online, BBNC, etc. etc.)

Raise your hand if you use facebook? How long did it take you to install the last update on all of the PCs you use and your tablet and phone?
Raise your hand if you use gmail? What version are you on? Do you know if you are using the latest release?
Always on . . . NXT is always available wherever you are on all of your devices – computer, laptop, or phone
Secure . . . Designed with security in mind. In a survey I saw recently, half of small and mid-size organizations said that they know they are underinvesting in IT security and vulnerable because they don’t have enough budget or staff to do it. Because we are serving thousands of customers, we can invest in the latest technology and knowledgeable staff to keep your data safe.
Zero IT Hassle . . . Never buy or manage another server again. Never run around to all of the PCs in your office and install updates
Always Up-to-Date . . . NXT is always up-to-date automatically. You are always on the latest version without having to install software. We plan to release a new version every 1-2 months, and you will be automatically updated.
These capabilities enable
Your executives to review results of the latest capital campaign any time they want to see it
Fundraisers to review constituent information with up-to-the-second updates prior to walking into an event or a meeting with a supporter
Database administrators no longer have to print out reports or email them around

We are launching our initial release in June 2015.
Benefits of the cloud allows us rapid deployment of features and fixes. No more go to Blackbaud.com, look up your product, download the latest version, install it on everyone’s work stations, etc.
Will attack monthly releases
Focused on filling out needs for specific roles and jobs to be done.
Some releases will be to tighten up specific areas and then there will be larger releases where we go after an entire role.
Always be proactive through our online communications, in app messaging through communities. The goal is always a gently deployed feature set you can take advantage of immediately.
We are developing the Raiser’s Edge NXT web experience by nonprofit roles to provide an intuitive, smooth transition for our customers. The person conducting high touch fundraising needs a different view into the application than the person doing data entry, which is different from the Development Director assigning solicitors and managing overall fundraising.
The first version of the NXT experience will initially be focused on fundraisers, but quickly expand to cover all roles at the nonprofit—from volunteers, to executives, to events staff and beyond. We will have a regular 1-2 month release cadence continually rolling out new roles and functionality through an intuitive, non-disruptive experience, educating users as we go.
