We've had a very busy time over here in CA Conversion world lately! Here's the short version of what we've been up to:
- Contribuiton Management at Datatel in VA went very well. Todd learned that several delivered reports will replace custom reports currently used in Benefactor. I liked hearing that!
- Anita Lynn from Datatel spent two days on campus helping us work out best practices for constituent and contribution management, and then create Allegheny-specific documentation for these areas. While she was here she also requested a meeting with the Business Office, so that we could begin to discuss with them some of the changes that CA will bring.
- We're working through the alphabet soup of conversions. The official first test conversion started with L1, and we are aiming to complete N4 very soon. In most cases we are still receiving relatively low numbers of errors - and in some cases no errors. Our N2 (Employment) conversion has produced the highest number of significant errors and we're currently examining those closely to determine how best to resolve them.
We are still aiming for a live conversion window of July 15 - August 15, 2009. So far, nothing in our first test conversion indicates we'll have any trouble meeting that goal.
