As we reported in the Next Gen webinar this week, Release One of the Next Gen software will focus on Constituent themes. We have already asked about Constituent Search and Constituent Relationships. Today’s question surrounds Postal Addresses (we will ask about email, webpages, phones etc. in a separate thread).
Thinking about Postal Addresses in your business, some very BROAD questions:
What are some challenges that you have surrounding addresses today?
Are there trends you are seeing that could impact postal address functionality in the future?
What do you like about Postal Address functionality in existing Tessitura?
What would you like to see changed/improved about Postal Address functionality?
Any other thoughts about addresses, your business, and Tessitura?
(For extra credit: We ultimately take user requirements and express them as “stories”. Feel free to answer this thread however you’d like, but for fun, you could answer in the form of a “story”. An example of a story might be: “As a Special Events Director, I need to be able to send Gala Invitations that include very formal addressing (Street rather than St., Boulevard rather than Blvd), even if this isn’t the mailing convention for other aspects of our business.”)
Thanks!

We have come across a similar problem: when an address changes for a corporation/Sponsor company, we need to roll that change down to all its affiliates, employees etc. who have the same original address. For some corporations we have up to 20 affiliates so re-entering the address for all of them is a fair job.
That button you suggest Rebecca would really help. Unless anyone else has found a good work-around?
