What is Blackbaud?
1.
The makers of educational software that promises to make the "World a Better Place."
Yeah right! After they suck the life out of you, your faculty, staff and annual budget.
Blackbaud is similar to a "Black Hole" in that once you are captured in it death grips, nothing can escape from it, not even light.
If you're looking for an educational software solution and have unlimited resources and patience, go for it. If not, avoid it at all cost or be doomed to watch yourself and everything you care about be sucked into a mind numbing and budget collapsing hole.
