More great news for MAILman customers this week; over the last few weeks I’ve been talking about the new Content Management and website integration capabilities in the upcoming release of MAILman. This week we’ll be going live with the first site that incorporates live transaction processing.
Go visit the Millennium Foundation’s website; they raise funds for research at the Westmead Hospital in Sydney.
We’ve developed for them an on-line donation page in our secure environment here at DMS that is directly linked to their pre-existing website and their MAILman database. That means strong validation of your customers’ and donors’ details, duplicate detection, automatic updating of accounts and best of all no file transfers. On-line contributions are saved straight in their MAILman database.
Over the next few weeks, we have a number of other sites that will be going live as well with the same technology. Currently we can do event registrations, donations, pledges and the updating of donor details. In the next month or two we’ll be delivering the same ability for merchandise sales and lottery ticket sales. We can even do custom transaction types so if you have some really unusual requirements, let us know.
This is just one more step to tie MAILman to customer websites. The big focus is on eliminating the gap between what is done on your website and what is done on your in-house CRM or fundraising system. The days of heavy compromises and totally separate systems are over.
