Posting to fundraising and donor tracking software has very unique
and discreet requirements. You can't simply upload a
common-delimited or CSV file because data changes, not
year-to-year, rather appeal-to-appeal. Once seemingly similar
Reply Devices are printed the results may vary wildly: by
printer, in the size or font of OCR, by barcode, layout and most
important for what you are asking for. Until recently creating a
standard interface for the key fundraising and donor tracking
software was a frustrating exercise. 2500M is the first set of
products to create standard interfaces into Blackbaud Raiser's
Edge, Kintera Sphere, MPower MPX, ResourceOne Technologies
DonorOne, SofterWare DonorPerfect, and, SofTrek PledgeMaker.
Corporate Bio
Look at your typical Reply Device after two or three printings the
OCR scan lines will be different. Maybe you receive stacks of donor
letters with their business checks / cheques, nicely typed on their
letterhead. Try to use recognition technology: maybe you'll find the
OCR scan lines or the data fields within the letters, more than
likely, you'll spend more time correcting what recognition
technology found. There simply has been NO effective way to process
these transactions, rather most experts will recommend that you
train your donors to be more responsible or you just have to
manually Read & Key. For nonprofit organizations Aqubanc has found a
better way to Steward Your Resources:
Single Click Entry uses the highly evolved
DOKuStar recognition products from Oce Document Technologies.
After looking at a donor letter for example, Single Click Entry may
find the
Shrinkode, Donor ID, Check Serial Number or Cheque Number and
highlight this data for the Gift Receipting operator. Once
highlighted, a Single Click of the mouse deposits this data into an
Entry field. While the logic of this process runs counter to typical
forms processing, Aqubanc has found for nonprofit organizations it
makes undeniable sense and is completely logical.
Corporate Bio
Aqubanc began researching for a better way for smaller to
multi-tier nonprofits to electronically deposit their checks /
cheques using Digital Check TS230 scanners while continuing to
post to their Fundraising software using 2500M. After completing
in-depth research, Aqubanc found the Canadian importer for
Digital Check, Contact Innovations was the best company with a
complete solution:
IA Remittance is the best path for nonprofits to Steward
Your Resources. IA Remittance provides easy-to-use, functionally
logical (intuitive) software for image scanning, endorsing,
transaction archiving and creation of US Check 21 and for future
Canadian Cheque 21 electronic depositing. Combining the highly
reliable Digital Check TS230 and TS4X scanners with IA
Remittance is proven everyday in over 500 sites throughout North
America. Aqubanc has been working with Contact Innovations since
2006. Knowledge-depth about electronic check / cheque
depositing, and, how to optimize Gift Receipting and Gift
Processing are delivered without any hint of arrogance: this has
made it possible for Aqubanc to complete conversions to IA
Remittance.

Most Fundraising and donor tracking software either doesn't have
the capability to store images or the process to access stored
images is simply too cumbersome to use. When this happens, Gift
Receipting to Fund Raisers need a quick yet robust platform to
access images within their office or across continents. Hershey
Systems
DocBox and
Singularity provides innovative software solutions to more
than 200 colleges and universities around the world: designed to
increase student services and lower operational costs across the
entire campus. With DocBox and Singularity, colleges and
universities have streamlined manual, paper-intensive processes
by transforming how they process, store, manage and access
valuable information. DocBox and Singularity ideally compliment
the needs of Gift Receipting and Fundraising. Moreover when
Fundraising and donor tracking software do not have Electronic
Storage capability, Aqubanc recommends DocBox and Singularity to
serve this mission.
Non-Profits receive faxes for certain types of campaigns, research
surveys, or simply supporting documentation to a donor's gift. For
collegiate foundations, this may include alumni planned gifts,
donations from IRA accounts, or simply updates to the donor's
record. Faxes can't be altered, infected with a virus or hijacked
and so faxes received by computer remain the safest and most secure
method for sending all kinds of donor transactions or documents.
Faxing is convenient for the original paper documents and can be
done anywhere there is a phone. The downside to traditional fax
workflow is the slow process of getting the faxes logged and into
the right hands. Aqubanc found Report to be the first company that
can effectively identify, log, sort and get faxes into the right
hands in the right amount of time or less. Using their patented
software, known as
SmartPaperware,
Report links original faxes, emailed documents and hard copy
images ,commonly known as paperware to the correct endpoint. It is a
wonderful solution to a
dreadful problem.
