Key technologies like Data Quality & Management, Artificial Intelligence, CRM and Other Applications, and Data and Application Integration enable the optimization of fundraising results and donor engagement. But limited budgets in most institutions require careful prioritization of technology investments. How do we decide which technologies provide the greatest return in terms of new business, increased engagement, and operational optimization?
This case study shows how one university used a program strategy to develop a Key Advancement Technology Portfolio and Road Map which provided guidance and business justification for the technology transformation projects and critical input to their fundraising campaign strategy and budget.
