"We needed a strong technology partner with a flexible solution that would continue to develop with us and adapt to our changing needs as a growing department," said Julie Tolan,
Marquette University's vice president, university advancement. "We found that in Blackbaud."

integrated solution with a focus on prospect research (http://www.blackbaud.com/products/fundraising/majorgiving.aspx). "We needed a single source that could enable us to manage and optimize our wide array of communications and
advancement efforts," said Tolan, "and in turn, empower our end-users."
Marquette University had relied on Blackbaud for its analytics and prospect research services, but is currently implementing the integrated higher education solution including CRM
