Importation from Raiser's Edge

Claire Coleman
$organization

Hi everyone,

I should start by saying hello and introducing myself. I work in Development at Cheltenham Festivals - a new addition to the Tessitura network. We currently run Raiser's Edge and the aim is to carry across all of our data to the new system along with the records from the existing ticketing software, Databox. We are on a very tight schedule and I'm responsible for providing the data from RE that will migrate.

We wondered whether anyone here would share their experiences of going through the installation and data importation process from the Development viewpoint, and any tips for the preparation of data (particularly from RE)?

Apologies if there is already a thread about this - I did a search and didn't come across anything but perhaps I haven't quite got to grips with the forum yet!

Thanks in advance,

Claire

    The version 10.0 release adds a Contribution Import Utility as well.  You may find this useful in migrating current campaign contributions for a quick conversion.  Migrating contribution history from previous years will probably require a bit more conversion work than the Contribution Import Utility can handle.

     

    There’s a mammoth piece of documentation on this utility found here:

    Hello Gary,
    Thank you for replying - I wasn't sure if anyone would take pity on me!

    Yes I'm going to Manchester so it would be great to pick your brain. Here is my email address if you want to arrange a meeting - claire.coleman@cheltenhamfestivals.com

    Thanks again!

    Hi Claire,

     

    We did the conversion from RE last year, are you coming to the conference on Friday? I’m happy to spend some time talking to you about the project.
