30 Notes: Proficiency-lag for staff is a given when using any of these robust software platforms; BBNC is not open-source, so not every web developer can step in without training, and even staff-level web development requires training; Proffer web page development requires the help of a BBNC developer; Fusion and Blackbaud products integrate pretty well with each other, and both companies offer products of different sizes to suit different sized organizations and different needs; Play it safe and DO NOT offer to beta test in order to get a better price.
