National Wildlife Federation Selects StratusLIVE Fundraising CRM Suite With Advanced Marketing Automation and Business Intelligence (BI) Capabilities(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) March 05, 2014 StratusLIVE, a leading provider of cloud-based fundraising and CRM solutions to nonprofit organizations, announced today the selection of its products by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). In support of their strategic initiatives, NWF will be migrating from legacy systems to the StratusLIVE for Fundraisers platform, which now includes Advanced Marketing Automation and Business Intelligence capabilities. StratusLIVE was selected to increase constituent engagement, improve multichannel marketing effectiveness, enhance fundraising efforts, and streamline operations. “The protection of wildlife is a mission that requires a constituent-centric focus across our organization,” said National Wildlife Federation Vice President of Philanthropy, Anne Senft. “To continue building a long-term sustainable community on a national scale with global impact, we must go beyond traditional fundraising. Supporters are increasingly motivated for greater involvement with the nonprofits they support. StratusLIVE will empower us to more effectively partner with donors and communicate how their participation with NWF—through donations, memberships, education, conservation, advocacy, and volunteerism—has a direct impact on wildlife.” According to NWF Vice President of Systems and Technology, Matt Schuttloffel, “When we began our search for new software, we were looking for a single, comprehensive, enterprise-class solution which could replace several older technologies and complicated processes. We knew we wanted software that was easier to use without sacrificing the sophistication, flexibility, and scale we require. We also knew we wanted the latest commercial technology, which is better suited to grow and adapt with our needs.” “The selection of StratusLIVE was the result of an extensive evaluation of industry-leading competitors,” continued Schuttloffel. “The clean, intuitive nature of StratusLIVE’s product, powered by Microsoft Dynamics CRM, immediately stood out. It was important for us to find a platform that was familiar and accessible—to meet the users where they were. What was equally impressive was the roadmap for the future with both StratusLIVE for Fundraisers and the Microsoft platform. We recognized that with StratusLIVE we would benefit from the expertise of a software company with a real-world understanding of our nonprofit business needs and a vision for the future of nonprofit technology.” Jim Funari, StratusLIVE CEO stated “We are pleased to partner with the National Wildlife Federation, America’s largest conservation organization. The best in class business intelligence natively integrated within StratusLIVE for Fundraisers will provide NWF with greatly improved capabilities to connect with their constituents and provide service to their community. We are excited about the opportunity to help NWF advance their mission in ways that were previously unavailable.” StratusLIVE for Fundraisers is an enterprise-class Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that provides comprehensive fundraising, constituent relationship management, financial processing for donations and pledges, distributions and payouts, campaign management, multi-channel marketing, and advanced analytics.
