Special Offer Makes Upgrade from GiftMaker to DonorPerfect Easier, More Cost-Effective

Giftmaker Pro clients, concerned about switching to a high cost fundraising solution when their support ends, can switch to DonorPerfect and DonorPerfect Online fundraising solutions and take advantage of a special conversion offer.

Horsham, PA (PRWEB) May 12, 2008 -- SofterWare, Inc., developer of DonorPerfect and DonorPerfect Online fundraising solutions, recently introduced a unique data conversion tool to speed and simplify the transfer of donor and gift information from Blackbaud's GiftMaker Pro software to DonorPerfect or DonorPefect Online. With Blackbaud's (NASDAQ:BLKB) announcement that they will discontinue support for GiftMaker Pro this summer, many GiftMaker Pro clients are actively looking for new fundraising software due to concerns with the high cost and complexity of switching to Blackbaud's Raisers Edge® system.

Though Blackbaud is also offering their recently acquired eTapestry® product as another option for GiftMaker clients, there is still concern about Blackbaud's long-term plan for eTapestry. Doug Schoenberg, CEO of SofterWare, Inc., noted "Many eTapestry clients are worried about possible price increases. As a public company, Blackbaud is under constant pressure to continue to deliver profit growth. To get a return on that $25 million purchase price for a company with only $7 million in annual sales and nominal profits, dramatically higher subscription and service fees seem likely for eTapestry clients."

This is a stressful time for GiftMaker clients who are losing support for their product and told to accept a solution they didn't choose. Why upgrade to a harder-to-use package when you can have all the benefits of DonorPerfect for a much better value?

Switching to DonorPerfect has never been easier. Our new conversion tool was specifically created to make converting from GiftMaker Pro to DonorPerfect as easy as possible. We've helped many former GiftMaker Pro clients to upgrade to either our web-hosted or client-installed solutions with a smooth and painless transition that is already enhancing their fundraising results.

I've used GiftMaker in the past...and with DonorPerfect, it's amazing how you can slice and dice your data to get the information you want -- its very powerful for creating insightful reports. Plus, the support team is great. They're friendly, prompt and helpful.
