Kintera goes back to school

In quite a coup, Software as a Service solutions provider Kintera Inc. representatives announced earlier this week that the company had signed an agreement with America’s largest university system, California State University, to employ the Kintera comprehensive solution suite. The suite includes Kintera Advocacy, Kintera Constituent Relationship Management, and Kintera P!N Electronic Screening, a trio of programs founded on the web-based Kintera Sphere platform. The system will be deployed at CSU’s twenty-three campuses. The CSU system is currently using Kintera Grasstops technology in developing its advocacy program.

With Kintera P!N Electronic Screening, CSU hopes to identify individuals with the capacity to advocate on the university system’s behalf at federal levels. Using the Kintera Sphere platform, the CSU system is promised to centralize constituent data. Additionally, CSU hopes to expand its constituent base and engage financial supporters via internet technology. The advocacy software will be used to educate supporters on university issues related. The nonprofit-organization specialist firm Kintera now adds California State University to a client catalogue which currently includes Northern Arizona University, Tufts University, the University of Virginia, and Washington State University. The company now boasts over 15,000 Software as a Service accounts in the nonprofit, government and corporate sectors.
