Hi and welcome to episode 195 of The ERP Minute. I’m your host, Rebekah McCabe.

Blackbaud and Constant Contact, a provider of digital marketing tools for small businesses and nonprofits, announced the initial release of a strategic integration to transform digital engagement across the social impact sector. This collaboration will embed Constant Contact’s powerful AI-driven digital marketing platform within BlackBaud Raiser’s Edge NXT, empowering social impact customers to reach and engage supporters more effectively using leading email, SMS, social media, and other digital marketing functions, all through an embedded experience in Raiser’s Edge NXT. Ultimately, customers will receive enhanced supporter engagement, accelerated campaign creation, and streamlined operations. With this integration, Blackbaud customers can transform the way they interact with audiences and maintain regular communication with those nonprofits rely on the most: the community. 

Infor announced an expanded Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) to accelerate the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) among their joint customers. As a member of the AWS Partner Network for over a decade, this expanded collaboration further strengthens Infor’s unwavering commitment to integrating with AWS’s cutting-edge technology solutions and enhancing accessibility globally, including through AWS Marketplace. Now, Infor customers will have greater access to AWS cloud and AI services, enabling growth and advancement that was not previously as attainable.
