SDS works with any modern database but as Blackbaud partners we are particularly familiar with data exchange with the Raiser’s Edge.

SDS Apps

SDS offers the option to track both LinkedIn and Facebook data. Users are presented with a branded application page which ensures they give full opt-in consent to sharing data with your institution.

Once permission is given, SDS will automatically check for changes to their profile data and ensures the user stays engaged with the app over the long term with its fully automated re-engagement process.

SDS Data

Social networks such as LinkedIn and Facebook are huge repositories of valuable constituent data. More importantly, users of these sites are often very diligent about keeping their profiles up to date due to professional and social motivations.

Whilst some of your members are ‘super engaged’ and will fill out paper or electronic forms, the vast majority find it hard to find the time, even if they want to stay engaged. SDS enables this busy majority to stay connected with far less effort.
