Re: Development Resources

We use an overlay for Your Pay. We have had tons of problems with them. Iss=
ues with them counting charges as fraudulent, or charging people and not se=
nding us a report of it. And then we have issues for our business office re=
conciling it. Does anyone use a processor that integrates better?

We formerly used Your Pay for credit card processing. This year we=20
started using Diamond Mind at the request of our business=20
office. Our business office might start allowing tuition payments=20
via Diamond Mind.

We use Millennium (owned by Sage Software) for our database -- not=20
just for gifts but also several other functions for the school. We=20
use the SQL version but it is available for Oracle too. I write=20
reports in Crystal Reports. We've been on Millennium through a=20
number of upgrades, going back to 1992.

You might want to see if CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of=20
Education) has any seminars etc. that look good to you.
