Case Study: Blackbaud achieves faster time-to-market and lower development costs with Appcelerator

Blackbaud Helps Nonprofits Use Mobile To Do More Good.

Blackbaud, a 30‑year provider of software and services to nonprofits, education and charitable organizations worldwide, needed to help clients reach donors and staff on mobile devices. As donors and on‑the‑go workers shifted to smartphones and tablets, Blackbaud found native SDK development too slow and expensive to meet demand for timely, cross‑platform mobile tools.

By adopting the Appcelerator Platform, Blackbaud’s developers leveraged existing skills to build a suite of cross‑platform apps (including MobilePay) faster and with lower costs. The platform shortened time to market, made developers productive immediately, and enabled quicker updates—delivering mobile solutions that better support nonprofits’ fundraising and fieldwork.
