This clearly written, step-by-step volume provides people at the management level with a complete introduction to The Raiser's Edge software. The volume presents detailed discussion of what each aspect of the software does and how it will fit into the organization's planning and operations. These basics are followed by systematic discussion of more advanced applications, all in plain language, clearly organized, and accompanied by screen shots and frequent bulletted lists of information the organization will wish to consider and include as they build their database.
