Driven by the market “We are very excited to continue to evolve and strengthen our partnership with Fusion Labs,” said Heiko Henning, Blackbaud’s vice president of business development. “Fusion Labs has a proven track record of effectively serving the community foundation market and ensuring customer success.

We believe Fusion Labs focus on this market and deep domain expertise will allow them to deliver the combined offering of best-of-breed software and services and enhance the value it delivers to our joint customers. Blackbaud is firmly committed to serving community foundations and a deeper, more integrated approach with Fusion leading the charge, will allow us to do this more effectively than ever.”

From the smallest to the largest "We've witnessed explosive growth in the number of foundations that required web-enabled interaction with their constituents, fund holders, Boards, committees, and recipients in the past year," said Lou Attanasi, President of NSD. While there are numerous software applications that can offer online functionality, the GE/Spectrum suite can fully integrate with Blackbaud’s Raiser’s Edge, Financial Edge, and Blackbaud NetCommunity, the most utilized nonprofit software in the world, and allow for an organization to truly achieve a single source of truth in their business process. Together we have designed a platform that provides continuity in our offering, from the smallest startup foundations to the largest in the world. Having the ability to scale, without sacrificing usability or unique process flow, is the major differentiator for the Blackbaud/Fusion Foundation solution.”
