Overview        <\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class=\"body-large\">\n        Upon adopting an intuitive cloud solution for fund accounting, the University of South Florida\r\nFoundation streamlined financial processes and eliminated manual tasks, saving valuable time\r\nand resources.     <\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg-white white-bg\" id=\"wysiwyg-block_c652b7349f3c68387a83b63f09efaf77\">\n            <h3>Adopting a new fund accounting solution proves<br \/>\nseamless for USF Foundation.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">After identifying gaps in its former legacy accounting system, which often<br \/>\nresulted in additional manual work for its 27 users, the University of South<br \/>\nFlorida Foundation team knew it was time to make the switch to a new,<br \/>\ninnovative cloud accounting solution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">\n\u201cIt was clear to me Blackbaud continues to innovate in the nonprofit fund<br \/>\naccounting space and is committed to Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT,\u201d said<br \/>\nRob Fischman, USF Foundation chief financial officer. \u201cWhen comparing to<br \/>\nother options, we could see Blackbaud took the time to develop a cloud<br \/>\nsolution that was scalable to be used by anyone in finance, from data entry<br \/>\nto management analysis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">Even amidst a global pandemic, with most of the team thrust into a remote<br \/>\nenvironment, the USF Foundation was able to implement Blackbaud Financial<br \/>\nEdge NXT on time and under budget. The incredible effort of the USF<br \/>\nteam armed with the right tools and training helped ensure a smooth and<br \/>\nsuccessful implementation for the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">\n\u201cThere was great cooperation between our conversion specialist, consultant,<br \/>\nand our Blackbaud project manager, which allowed us to quickly resolve<br \/>\nany issues discovered through our design and testing phases. They worked<br \/>\nvery hard to collaborate with us on a system design to take advantage of<br \/>\nthe robust capabilities within Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT,\u201d said Michelle<br \/>\nCummings, assistant vice president and controller.<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg-white white-bg\" id=\"wysiwyg-block_e45174c062503c707cbe51fee7e386c8\">\n            <h3>Empowering Staff<\/h3>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">To effectively accomplish required core tasks when using the previous<br \/>\nsystem, staff had to both rely on tools outside of the system and manage<br \/>\ninefficient processes that resulted in delayed access to information. Fischman<br \/>\nrecalled an example of it taking months to produce a quality report with the<br \/>\nold system. \u201cBeing able to create a valuable report with actionable financial<br \/>\ndata in half the time is a huge advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">\nUSF Foundation houses information for its alumni association but was unable<br \/>\nto grant secure access for them to self-serve, requiring the foundation\u2019s<br \/>\nfinance office to take on the additional work of managing the alumni<br \/>\nassociation\u2019s accounting needs. Now using Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT,<br \/>\nthe association can manage its own accounting needs in a self-service form.<br \/>\n\u201cHaving more information available on demand for system users is one of the<br \/>\nmany ways Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT empowers us to be better stewards<br \/>\nof the funds contributed by our donors,\u201d said Cummings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">\nWith an intuitive interface that enhances the user experience, Blackbaud<br \/>\nFinancial Edge NXT equips staff with the tools needed to effectively manage<br \/>\ntheir program data. \u201cWe previously had a dedicated resource to manually<br \/>\nenter journal entries, Now users can easily load the entries themselves into the<br \/>\nsystem with the Excel add-in,\u201d said Cummings. \u201cOur users prefer working in<br \/>\nBlackbaud Financial Edge NXT and want to be working and completing as<br \/>\nmany tasks in the web view system as they can.\u201d<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n<section class=\"pull-quote pull-quote__top-bottom white-bg\" id=\"pull-quote-block_2140f9aec1c29703585b15ce9b205c5f\">\n    <div class=\"pull-quote__wrapper\">\n

\/>\noptimize their use of Blackbaud solutions as well as implement best<br \/>\npractices. \u201cWhile I\u2019ve already seen the benefits, we are looking forward to<br \/>\ncollaborating with other finance professionals using Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT,\u201d said Fischman. \u201cI know it will be really impactful for our staff with the<br \/>\nway Blackbaud encourages the user community and supports it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">\nBlackbaud Financial Edge NXT will enable USF Foundation to better serve its<br \/>\nconstituents because of the ability to run queries and produce meaningful<br \/>\nreports for data analysis they were not able to do with their old system.<br \/>\nTo achieve its future vision, the USF Foundation\u2019s finance team realized they<br \/>\nneeded to have more of the power in their own hands. \u201cBlackbaud Financial<br \/>\nEdge NXT does just that for us,\u201d Cummings said. \u201cIt\u2019s an accounting solution<br \/>\nthat empowers us to
