Raiser\u2019s Edge NXT, which is Blackbaud\u2019s flagship\r\nfundraising and relationship management solution, and Microsoft Power Platform\u2122, which includes\r\nPower Automate. We talked with James Hudson, university Operations Manager for Engagement,\r\nabout the related increase in productivity and efficiency.    <\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg

certified connector between Blackbaud Raiser\u2019s<br \/>\nEdge NXT and Microsoft Power Platform has been great,\u201d Hudson said. \u201cThe<br \/>\nconnector lets you work directly on the business problem you\u2019re trying to<br \/>\nsolve, rather than trying to understand how the APIs you\u2019re using work, greatly<br \/>\nreducing the amount of time taken to create a solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

also don\u2019t need to worry about how or where you\u2019re going to deploy your<br \/>\nsolution as the Power Platform takes care of all of that for you,\u201d Hudson said.<br \/>\nHe advised that users can be successful with minimal coding knowledge.<br \/>\n\u201cI would say that if you can understand formulas in Excel, you\u2019ll be fine here.\u201d<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section

helped everyone stay on top of fundraising during COVID-19.<br \/>\n\u201cThe ease provided with the connector helped make sure that donors are<br \/>\nthanked quickly, and lets the fundraisers easily mark the gifts as acknowledged.<br \/>\nIt has also allowed us to provide information to colleagues in other departments<br \/>\nwithout having to give them access to Blackbaud Raiser\u2019s Edge
