CHARLESTON, S.C., June 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the world's leading cloud
software company powering social good, today announced it has been
chosen by Microsoft as the winner of the 2019 MSUS Partner Award
for Industry-Education. This award honors Blackbaud's leadership in
customer impact, solution innovation, deployment and exceptional
use of advanced features in Microsoft technologies over the past
year.
"On behalf of Blackbaud, we are humbled to receive this
prestigious national award," said Tim
Hill, president and general manager, Blackbaud Higher
Education Solutions. "It recognizes our ongoing commitment to
providing the innovative cloud solutions that higher education
institutions need to deliver on their missions. This is a true
testament to the value of our collaboration with Microsoft as we
work together to empower the education industry."
Understanding the crucial role education plays in building a
better world, Blackbaud helps private K-12 schools and higher
education institutions by providing purpose-built solutions to
drive digital transformation and impact. Leveraging Microsoft
technologies has allowed Blackbaud to respond more quickly to these
institutions, while increasing expectations for availability, user
experience and access across devices.
With Blackbaud's cloud solutions, K-12 schools can operate more
efficiently while providing a superior experience for parents,
teachers and students, and institutions are empowered to connect
effectively along the engagement journey. In fact, Blackbaud was
founded supporting a customer in the education industry, a private
K-12 school that is still a customer today. And, Blackbaud serves
nine out of 10 higher education institutions with billion-dollar
campaigns.
"The collaboration between Blackbaud and Microsoft has already
led to innovative solutions that are making a positive impact for
our K-12 school customers and the parents, teachers, administrators
and students who interact with our solutions," said Travis Warren, president and general manager,
Blackbaud K-12 Solutions. "Together, we are delivering what schools
