Phase 1 of DAC Replacement Underway

05/01/08

"Fit Gap" Phase of DAC Replacement is underway. It involves detailed exploration of product/services offered by Blackbaud, the selected technology provider. During the Fit Gap phase we will 1) Establish comprehensive requirements, against which the Blackbaud system will be evaluated; and 2) determine if the Blackbaud system fits our U-M Development Program’s requirements by identifying and evaluating the gaps between their system and our needs.

Fit Gap is expected to last through October 2008. Results from testing will be compiled and presented with recommendations to either move forward with Blackbaud or seek a new vendor/product.
