I'm researching the competitors for a software company called
Blackbaud, Inc. Blackbaud provides software and related services
designed specifically for nonprofit organizations. One component of
Blackbaud's fundraising software, The Raiser's Edge, is an online
giving module called NetSolutions. NetSolutions is a
subscription-based service that allows nonprofit organizations to
accept credit card donations online. I'm trying to determine the
answers to two questions relating to competitors of this product:
1) Has "Company X" completed an SAS 70 Service Organization audit
(or do they plan to)?
2) What is the customer retention rate for the subscription-based
Internet services of "Company X" (i.e. online giving)?
Here is a list of companies of interest for these questions (not an
exhaustive list, but certainly the most relevant companies):
SofterWare (makers of DonorPerfect)
Kintera (makers of Kintera Sphere)
eTapestry.com
Convio
Telosa (makers of Exceed!)
Tessitura (parent company = Impressario)
SunGard SCT (makers of Benefactor)
SunGard BSR (makers of Advance)
Datatel
DonorDirect.com
Campagne (makers of GiftMakerPRO)
Metafile (makers of Results Plus)
Advanced Solutions International (makers of iMIS)
ACCPAC
Target Software (makers of Team Approach)
Serenic Software
NPO Solutions
iModules
Internet Association Corporation (IAC)
Bernard C. Harris Publishing Co.
This is my first time using Google Answers, so I'm a little unsure
about setting the price for this question. I'll try $20 and see if
this is in the ballpark. I'm also unsure if you'll be able to find
answers to my two questions in the first place - I've obviously been
unsuccessful so far - but I figured I should give the experts a shot!
Thank you in advance for your assistance. If you have any clarifying
questions for me, I'm happy to respond. Thank you! |
