29 Beyond Nines Testimonials

"There was so much NetCommunity™ functionality about which we weren't even aware! It was so helpful to have Beyond Nines walk us through best practices — and break our bad habits."

"Beyond Nines pushed us as an organization to rethink the ways we were doing things — from what was on our website, to how to get ready for going mobile, to our internal processes. We wanted to stay relevant, and that's exactly what we needed. Because they were Blackbaud experts without actually being Blackbaud, we felt they could be more objective — and we had the right fit."

"We're not big enough to have someone who’s a hosting specialist. And I don't want it to be my specialty! Now we don't have to worry about things like backups and redundancies. That’s huge."

"We reconnected with our donors in a really specialized and personal way-and hit way above our yearly fundraising goal. We wouldn't have been able to do it without Beyond Nines."

"I've been extremely impressed with the level of service and commitment we've gotten from Beyond Nines, and would be happy to recommend!"

"Not only did we get a new website, we got experts to show us the things we didn't even know about or what we could be doing better. Everyone is feeling very comfortable with keeping the site up to date. This is exactly what we were looking for when we chose Beyond Nines."

"Previously, we had to deal with arbitrary, unannounced, uncontrollable upgrades, after which everything would break. We’d spend days on the phone trying to fix the problems. But with Beyond Nines, hosting support is so much more accommodating. We approve the upgrades on our schedule, and we can test them out first in a sandbox."

"Beyond Nines met and then exceeded my expectations. The team did a hefty amount of heavy lifting and answered all of our questions along the way. It was like NetCommunity™ was finally unveiled. Now we're rockin' and rollin."

"I didn't need to go to a full Blackbaud® training and learn everything there is to know about The Raiser's Edge®. Beyond Nines focused on what was important for our roles, helping us think through the best and most streamlined way to use the database."

"So much of we were doing with The Raiser's Edge® and NetCommunity™ felt like we were trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. We needed a hosting environment with speed, customizations and flexibility. Blackbaud® was telling me they couldn't do what we needed. Then we found Beyond Nines, where the answer was, 'Yeah, we can totally do that!"

"The strength of our process was in the pre-work. We dedicated time to discovery, which was time well invested. It made the project so much easier and smoother. Beyond Nines and 10 Pound Gorilla spent a lot of time with us in advance. They were very generous and offered suggestions and ‘work-arounds’ to make our wishes possible.”

"Our experience with Beyond Nines has given us the confidence to step back from the table and venture off on our own. Their expertise and responsiveness helped ELIC leverage our NetCommunity™ investment into an ongoing success."

"Beyond Nines helps us find solutions. Period. If we make changes to our programs, they figure out how to minimize the back-end work. You just tell them what you're looking for, and they come back with great ideas."

"We knew if we made an investment in training more staff on NetCommunity™, we would reap great rewards in efficiency. Now everyone feels like they have a stake in the success of our website."

"We knew that we wanted — no, needed — mobile optimization. We couldn’t risk looking behind the times. We needed to be in front of the trends."
