1) I'd like to know what financial application your organization uses.
2) Is your finance and executive team satisfied with it?
3) How long has your organization been using it?
4) Has your organization interfaced Tessitura with your financial application?
The Shaw uses Blackbaud's Financial Edge and has been since 1994.
I appreciate any responses.
Thank you!Sarah
I use Financial Edge here at Strathmore and QB with about a dozen other much smaller clients, so I’m definitely familiar with both applications.
Financial Edge is significantly more sophisticated than QB, which has advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it has much more sophisticated reporting capabilities and easily accommodates lots of different projects. On the negative side, it is significantly more expensive, has a cumbersome payroll function (if you need that), and it much more difficult to learn. For a large organization, however, it is definitely a better choice than QB, but you have to be prepared to put in some serious investment in money and time.

Do you like Financial Edge? We're using Quickbooks and I am beginning to explore a conversion. It may have to wait a bit while I continue to get acclimated. I"ve only been here for one year.
