Kintera Launches On-Demand Campaign Data Warehousing Solution for NonprofitsSAN DIEGO --(Business Wire)-- April 1, 2005 -- Kintera Sphere Is the First Platform to Offer Campaign Data Warehousing in an on-Demand Environment to Benefit Fundraising, Advocacy and Other Initiatives Technology provider Kintera(r) Inc. (NASDAQ:KNTA) announced the launch of its latest on-demand web-based tools for the nonprofit sector which provide an organization with a deeper knowledge of its constituent interactions. By using Kintera Sphere(tm) as its comprehensive campaign and fundraising platform, nonprofits can now organize their campaigns into a flexible hierarchical structure. Through this structure, the interactions of constituents with the organization are automatically captured and fed into a data warehouse as a mechanism to give insightful analysis of online fundraising, advocacy and other campaigns. A key component to Kintera's technology is the industry's most innovative data warehousing. Until now, most analytical solutions for advocacy and other campaigns involve delayed, offline or incomplete reporting. Kintera offers the first system to provide on-demand data so that groups can analyze and understand their supporters as they click on an email, advocate for a cause, give a donation or visit their website. With Kintera's new campaign hierarchy tool, organizations can coordinate data from all aspects of Kintera Sphere into a highly organized campaign and fundraising hierarchy structure. Kintera's software rolls up multiple pieces of data for each individual record in the organization's database. Then the hierarchy mechanism of Kintera's solution allows organizations to associate data for more targeted and valuable reports. "Hierarchy is the key to associating data correctly," noted Allen Gruber, executive vice president of operations at Kintera. "An on-demand data warehouse makes this data readily accessible right through Kintera Sphere. Kintera's application uses the most sophisticated and state-of-the-art technology available in the software as a service environment to ensure the data is always there when needed.
