New Upgrade Hits the Streets...

Our latest upgrade of DonorPerfect Online was downloaded seamlessly over the weekend to thousands of users...........and no one heard a sound.

That is, unless you were one of the two (yes only two) clients that phoned in over the weekend on our 24 hour support line. While I would love to proclaim the upgrade was a 100% success, it does look like we successfully implemented the latest release of DonorPerfect Online for the remaining 99.991% of our users.

With this new version, clients can expect to receive:

1. New Soft Credit Reports. These reports take in account each donor's capacity of generating gifts by listing the soft credits that were generated by the donor. This way, donors are recognized not only by the gifts they give, but also the gifts that they are able to influence through other constituents.
   
2. International Customization. While we've always had the ability to track foreign currencies in our product, addresses and dates can now be displayed and stored based on the user's preference.
   
3. A New Batch Module. We're proud to offer the first complete browser based flexible batch entry program. Through batch entry, organizations can easily enter in hundreds or thousands of gifts, create batch templates, and efficiently split, soft credit, and create tributes on the fly within the batch. Finally, batches can be committed by the user to be reviewed by a supervisor, who can finally authorize and post the batch. There are many more features available- please contact your Account Manager for more information.
   
4. Custom Report Writer Improvements. We've upgraded the look and feel of our custom report writer, and included more export options such as Word, Excel, and PDF. Creating a report is just as simple, and now all columns can be easily be sorted in ascending or descending order simply by clicking on the column heading.
   

This interim release of DonorPerfect Online is just a shadow of what's in store for later this year. I've blogged about it before, but DonorPerfect.NExT is coming along, and we're looking forward to generating a few more disruptions in the marketplace.

In the meantime, I look forward to seeing clients at the following upcoming conferences: NTEN in New Orleans (starting tomorrow!), as well as the International AFP conference in San Diego the following week.

We've got some BIG announcements coming out during the AFP conference- stay tuned!
