Event Details

Historically, reporting has been done manually if it has been done at all.  For example, an individual pulls all the data out out of the donor database, the online system and an events management system. He/she combines these into different pages in an excel spreadsheet, spends hours creating charts and recalculating data a number of times since the donor database data and the online CRM system just don't seem to match-up (and finance is coming in with a third number when asked). Is it possible to pull key data across multiple systems without building and maintaining a complex and sophisticated data warehouse? There are a number of approaches and we'll take a look at some and create dialogue around the different options.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

  • About different options for reporting across multiple systems (including the The Guru by Orange Leap solution that is database and data schema agnostic).
  • How to free your data from systems like Convio, Blackbaud, or Google Analytics.
  • How and why putting report writing control in decision makers hands makes everyone’s life easier and your organization more effective
