FundWare

Rumors in the market

Rob Helvey - Friday, January 22, 2010
Many of our clients have contacted us indicating that competitors in the marketplace are telling them that FundWare is no longer supported and that they need to change accounting systems immediately.  Unfortunately, some software companies attempt to sell on fear, doubt and uncertainty to sell their products. 

The facts are:

- Blackbaud has not declared an end of life for the FundWare product.

- Blackbaud is continuing to provide enhancements to their software and release new functionality.  Please see the FundWare v7.6 post.

- If you are desiring additional functionality that FundWare cannot provide, you have the option of changing to the Financial Edge product at no charge for your existing licensed modules.  Also note, FundWare has functionality that Financial Edge does not currently contain.  It is important to take a detailed look at your specific requirements. 

- Blackbaud is currently in development of their next generation products.  Their new platforms will be 100% browser based.
