Re: Alert Now

We are a Blackbaud school also and are using Alert Now. Keeping up with
the imports and exports are very challenging.
I too would like to know if anyone else has a better solution to keep
information current

Thanks

We use OneCallNow for calling and Simplelists for emergency e-mails.
No
complaints on either of them, however, we are looking seriously at
SchoolMessenger. The first two solutions don't tie really well into an
SIS,
and a central place for both is more what we were looking for.
