a fairly comprehensive RFP process this summer with about 12 vendors and
have narrowed our list to just four: Veracross, X2 Aspen, PCR Educator, and
Infinite Campus. We are a fairly large high school (1300 students).
We are currently using a combination of Blackbaud and Rediker Software
applications and hope to leave Rediker behind completely and only have
Blackbaud Raiser's Edge and the end of the process.
