Blackbaud NetCommunity v5.5 Release News (Part 2)
Blackbaud NetCommunity v5.5 is probably one of the biggest releases we've ever done with the product. There are just a ton of great new features and improvements that take it to a whole new level. (Enough new things to fill 65+ pages of documentation alone.)
For nearly two months, I sent out a "BBNC v5.5 Treat of the Day" to key internal stakeholders and members of our Blackbaud Interactive team to promote some of the new things in the release. I thought that I would share my Top 30 treats, and keep in mind that this only scratches the surface for what you'll find in the release. Enjoy!

A big thanks goes to everyone in the product development, quality assurance, and release management teams for their hard work for the past several months. And thanks to all the clients, consultants, and people that have provided us with ideas, feedback, and inspiration along the way.
Maybe for an upcoming release I'll post the treats on this blog or something. That might increase the traffic already pouring in from certain geographic locations. ;-)
