With Blackbaud as a partner, the nonprofit organization realized those goals\u2014and a better work\r\nexperience for its team.    <\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg-white white-bg\" id=\"wysiwyg-block_28c9e1c27646df2c8cfcf78662d71184\">\n            <p class=\"body-medium\">Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity formed in 1885\u2014at a time when women first<br \/>\nbegan attending college\u2014with a mission of enriching its members\u2019 lives through friendship, leadership, learning, and service. When Tim Johnson recently became senior financial controller at Alpha Chi Omega, he realized that those ideals could better extend to the fraternity\u2019s employees on his team with a modern fund accounting solution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">\u201cWe have a formal strategic plan, and adding software was on there,\u201d<br \/>\nJohnson said. \u201cIt was a strategic goal, not only for efficiencies within finance<br \/>\nand moving to recent technology, but also to get on the cloud and get off<br \/>\ncurrent servers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">Along with the fraternity, his team supports three other entities of Alpha Chi Omega: a foundation, a housing organization, and a chapter employee group. \u201cThey\u2019re the business partners in those meetings that listen to and answer finance questions,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIn some places, finance is looked at as a necessary evil, but here we\u2019re looked at as a part of the team\u2014and we\u2019re here to help.\u201d<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg-white white-bg\" id=\"wysiwyg-block_6fc0016fbf90a806ba92dc10d39693f4\">\n            <h3>Seamless Implementation<\/h3>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">Johnson knew that migrating to Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT\u00ae would allow his team to help even more\u2014and do so efficiently. But before migrating, Johnson interviewed his staff to understand needs and challenges. He learned that his team wanted more training and simplified processes for writing reports and exporting data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">He recognized potential risks too, such as implementation demands and, of course, cost. But with the budget in place to make the migration, Johnson knew that timing made sense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">\u201cAs Blackbaud comes out with new releases, we need the new platform to gain access to those,\u201d he explained. He soon learned that implementation proved uneventful and easy. \u201cIt was seamless and didn\u2019t use a lot of our time,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIn a couple of days, we were up and running.\u201d<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n<section class=\"pull-quote pull-quote__top-bottom white-bg\" id=\"pull-quote-block_4e2e23bc9a94ccc120b21fccd76cb190\">\n    <div class=\"pull-quote__wrapper\">\n                <div class=\"pull-quote__wrapper-content\">\n            <div class=\"pull-quote__wrapper-quote\">\n                <h4 class=\"h5\">\u201cEverybody can do a little bit more\u2014including the IT guy.

With Blackbaud\u2019s cloud solution, \u201cnow they automatically come through and happen<br \/>\novernight,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">Time savings didn\u2019t stop there. The user-friendly interface meant less effort<br \/>\nfor staff members to access information and less time training and learning. \u201cHands down, the biggest benefit has been the ease of navigation,\u201d Johnson<br \/>\nsaid. \u201cBlackbaud Financial Edge NXT is so intuitive that you can learn a lot on<br \/>\nyour own. And with day-to-day tasks, there are fewer clicks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">His team prepares income statement sheets, balance sheets, and board reports, which they can easily export to Excel while maintaining the proper formatting. \u201cWhen exporting to Excel, reports come out of the system looking like they should\u2014so we don\u2019t have to spend a lot of time on manipulation.\u201d And Johnson said the solution made it easier to drill down to quickly gain more insight into report transactions\u2014even from Excel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">Plus, a comprehensive cloud solution means employees can log in any time, anywhere\u2014effortlessly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">\u201cTo be honest, I see this as helping with staff retention and satisfaction. If you\u2019re on an old system, you\u2019re going to struggle. [Blackbaud] provides a better work environment,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cWhen we look toward the future of our organization, it\u2019s definitely the platform we need for growth and enhancements.\u201d<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"customer-story-single__content-download\">\n                        <a
