Editor's Notes
- What is DART? Donor and Alumni Relationship Tool – based on Blackbaud Enterprise CRM It will replace the existing Development, Alumni, and Constituent Database with newer technology to match the size and complexity of the U-M Development Program. We are exploring a single business management system that integrates all facets of Development, including prospect management, gift administration, events planning, and enables flexible information sharing across the university – a "one-stop-shop" for Development information.
- Why replace DAC? Development program has grown and changed over the last 17 years $1.4 billion in campaign 1991-1997 to $3 billion Michigan Difference campaign 2000-2008 Around 450 development staff across the University New technologies can more effectively manage all facets of Development manage giving process from end to end improve viewing and reporting expand profiling capability to capture additional information about our donors and prospects so we can manage them more effectively track and measure communications efforts New system will enable flexible information sharing across the University by integrating data more easily (integrate with MPathways Financials). It will help us leverage our relationships by incorporating additional elements which cannot be stored on DAC
