We did the sync between RE and EE 2 years ago. We installed EE and got it =
all up and running for several months before we did the integration. EE =
and FE really share the same database so that part was easy and it went =
well. Our existing financial data was in very good shape so it did not =
cause any headaches. =20
Then we tackled the integration with RE and EE. We did it very slowly and =
cautiously and followed Blackbaud's directions carefully. We did not pay =
for all the integration time they wanted to sell us. We had meetings to =
agree on what to call things and how to do them. We did some major =
cleanup on the RE data. But, when I finally pushed the button and told it =
to integrate it worked. I did have to go back in and manually match up =
some people, mostly either families where several generations shared the =
same name or families where the names were totally different and the =
relationships were not coded correctly in one or the other database.
Now, about FaWeb. We are using it to do grades and report cards. Our =
teachers are not using it to keep their grade books. Several of us, =
myself included tried it and found it more cumbersome than it was worth to =
us. The ones of us who did try it all went back to using Excel for our =
grade books and then moving the course average into FaWeb for the =
reporting part. We have not tried it in the last 18 months so it may have =
changed and I would not be aware of it.
Good success,

FAWeb is OK but takes a little getting used to. Once you do, it's fine
and more than adequate.=20

We are currently using Gradequick for our grading software and
reporting. We are looking to use FAWeb to replace Gradequick because we
are using Blackbaud. Does anyone have any experiences with FAWeb good
or bad. Any input is appreciated
