Raiser's Edge. Databases are synched and we use their NetCommunity
portal for parents and alums to manage their information in the system
and have access to online directories and such. Faculty use the FAWEB
web based gradebook. We have finally gotten the go ahead to put grade
reports on-line. It can do the entire gradebook, but we will only be
using it for final term reports. We will be adding online statements to
the parent portal sometime soon. We are also currently tying in our
Auction program and retail program so funds can be managed
electronically.
So, you can say that we are "married" to Blackbaud. It is not a bad
program, it just takes a higher level of computer proficiency to use it
"right". Some users have all grown with the program and new users we
make sure to get them proper training and screen them for database
skills at higher. Support is MUCH better if you can pay $2000 more a
year and get their Priority Support Team. Their regular support team
will try to solve your issues from their manual--does not work. Their
Education Edge consulting team is not so great, in our experience. Our
NetCommunity consultant is great.

Hello Everyone,
We are looking at switching to a different provider for our school
management software. We are currently using Senior Systems, but are
looking
to make a change. I was wondering which software package or packages
others
are using for student management, gradebook, registrar etc. and if you
are
using a package that integrates business office functions such as
accounts
payable and receivable and if not what accounting software you are
using.=20
Thank you for your time,
Brandon Watkins
