Hi to the list!

We are beginning the evaluation of fundraising software for our development
department. We are currently using BlackBaud's "The Raisers Edge" and find
it very expensive, very complicated, not user friendly without extensive
training, and therefore very under-utilized.

I would be interested in thoughts about products in use at other facilities
that are functional without a full-time Data Base manager. We have
approximately 35,000 records, a .2 fte for maintenance, and 5 users.

Thanks
