Case Study: University of South Florida Foundation achieves streamlined fund accounting and eliminates manual tasks with Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT

University of South Florida Foundation - Customer Case Study

The University of South Florida Foundation faced growing pain with a legacy fund accounting system that forced 27 users into manual workarounds, slow reporting, and limited self-service access for the alumni association. These inefficiencies delayed financial analysis and constrained the finance team’s ability to deliver timely, actionable information—prompting a search for a scalable, cloud-based solution.

The foundation implemented Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT, completing the remote deployment on time and under budget. The new cloud system eliminated many manual tasks, enabled users to load journal entries via an Excel add-in, halved report production time, and provided secure self-service for the alumni association—improving efficiency, reporting capability, and stewardship of donor funds.
