AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - July 12, 2007) - Sage Software announced today the availability
of Sage Fundraising 100 - Rainbow Edition, version 6.0. The updated
version of the company's software for North American United Way
organizations features access to an integrated payment processing solution
through Sage Software's Sage Payment Solutions (formerly Verus Card
Services); a new Adhoc Common Receivables table; new Extras and Alerts
functionality; a new, optional integration with Microsoft® Outlook's Task
and Calendar features; enhancements to the Projects and Tasks, Grants
Management, and Endowment Management modules; new Constituent Relationship
Management (CRM) functionality; and additional ease-of-use enhancements.
Offering a full suite of fundraising management and development tools,
including functionality for managing United Way workplace campaigns, Sage Fundraising 100 - Rainbow Edition now features an optional
integration with Sage Payment
Solutions to provide customers with a complete payment processing
solution right from their Sage Fundraising 100 - Rainbow Edition desktop.
By integrating their United
Way software for fundraising with Sage Payment Solutions, United Way
organizations can increase both the efficiency of their installment
processing and the security of their donors' information.
Improved ad hoc reporting is provided through the new Common Receivables
table, containing combined records for each pledge, gift, event, or
membership to give customers easier access to this data for ad hoc reports
and criteria. A new, optional integration to Microsoft's Outlook Task and
Calendar features helps Sage Fundraising 100 - Rainbow Edition users keep
their projects and tasks on schedule with two-way integration, manual
synchronization, and real-time integration. United Way organizations can
also deepen their campaign analysis by exporting detailed campaign
information to Excel spreadsheets.
"The ability to export the Campaign Information screens to spreadsheets
will be a valuable feature for our campaign staff," said Jillian Tausky,
systems and database manager for United Way of Cambridge and North Dumfries
in Cambridge, Ontario, and United Way of Guelph and Wellington in Guelph,
Ontario, and a Sage Software customer since 2000. "Similarly, the new
Common Receivables source will simplify the ad hoc writing process for
newer users."
Sage Fundraising 100 - Rainbow Edition's new comprehensive Extras view
allows United Way organizations to easily connect their constituent data to
outside sources, such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and Web sites. New
functionality allows customers to connect multiple notes, attributes,
attachments, and links to every table where a single note currently exists,
giving them an even more comprehensive picture of their constituents and
constituent interactions. Complementing the Extras functionality are new
context-sensitive alerts, appearing only where customers specify.
"The new Extras functionality will help our campaign team find and input
information more quickly," said Angela Cake, information systems specialist
for United Way of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas, a Sage Software customer
since 1996. "Other new features, like the option to export detailed
campaign information into spreadsheets, and the separate screen for
assigning coordinator tasks, will also help us work more efficiently."
To further assist United Way organizations with fundraising, fund
management, donor relationship management, and reporting tasks, Sage
Fundraising 100 - Rainbow Edition was updated with new functionality for
the Projects and Tasks, Grants Management, and Endowment Management
modules; new Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) functionality; and
additional ease-of-use enhancements.
