Dear Nonprofit Professional,
Welcome
to a special issue of Convio Connection, announcing
Convio Open, a continuing initiative that meets the nonprofit
sector's growing need for more customizable, integrated
solutions to tap the power of the new Web.
Nonprofits
are asking vendors to make it easier to integrate their email
systems, volunteer databases, donation engines and, more
recently, social networking sites. Through a combination of
integration tools, APIs (application programming interfaces)
and partnerships, Convio Open provides nonprofits of all sizes
the widest range of new tools for social media, rich Web
applications for a more compelling constituent experience, and
new integration options to more effectively manage constituent
data.
Convio Open provides you access to exciting new
opportunities to engage constituents, with Web tools and
services that integrate Facebook, Flickr, Google Maps and
other social media into your online campaigns. And, through
Convio's new and an expanding availability of integration
tools with leading backend databases, you will be able to
share data between systems more quickly with less effort, and
more easily analyze your supporters' offline and online
engagement activities.
In addition to this newsletter,
we invite you to visit http://open.convio.com
to learn even more about Convio Open.
I hope the
exciting new opportunities detailed in this special issue of
Convio Connection inspire you to create your own
unique engagement strategies and participate in Convio Open to
take constituent relationships to new levels through the power
of the Web.
 Regards,
Gene Austin
