ACD Interface Coming Soon
Currently, our team is writing an interface between ACD Direct's Simple Pledge Page and Allegiance Fundraising. This interface will write the pledges taken by ACD Direct directly to the web transaction files in your Allegiance database. With the interface, you will be able to track those pledges with Donation Tracker and see the premium inventory update immediately, as you would with pledges coming directly from Allegiance web and volunteer pledge entry pages.

ACD Direct approached Allegiance about this project to create a seamless interface that will benefit our mutual clients. With this interface, the use of ACD Direct's Simple Pledge Page will be easier and faster for your organization. You will no longer need to download a .txt for pledges taken by ACD Direct. Transactions will be going through the verification bin, so you will catch any duplicate accounts or errors before you import. And, it will help you have accurate pledge totals throughout your drive.

Beta testing for this interface will begin in December. Watch for more information on this in the near future.

Calling All Allegiance Fundraising Users
At this time, the software development and support teams are working diligently to program and test Fundraising V9.1 to make sure we can release it by May 2013. But, we need your help.

We need organizations like you to use the system outside of our testing environment. We're asking early because we want to allow more time for the Beta testing process.

Benefits
We believe you will be excited to be one of the first to use the new features in Allegiance that will make your job easier. However, we realize your database is a precious piece of your operation. Therefore, we are offering Beta stations extra benefits. Those benefits include: No increase in your Fundraising system annual maintenance fee during the year your station participates in the process. A dedicated support specialist who will give priority to your station's needs during the testing process. Free online training to cover the new features of Allegiance V9.1.

Sign-up Today!
Not all stations are right for Beta testing because of station and database size, complexity of system and add-on customizations. We will determine the best from the pool of interested stations. Then, we will keep all interested parties on a list for potential future Beta testing opportunities. We will be making a decision by Dec. 1. Please contact support to learn more.
