Here at the Washington International School, our registrar and admissions offices use PCR Educator.  When I started my job at Data Analyst for the Advancement (Development) Office, it was because of extensive experience with Raiser's Edge.  The folks at PCR had offered to develop (for a fee, of course) an interface that would automatically read PCR data every night and automatically update our Raiser's Edge data.  I was skeptical that such a product could be developed that would be reliable, and, guess what - they couldn't do it.

Does anyone know of such a product - or does anyone have anything that automatically updates Raiser's Edge from any similar Registration database product.  PCR is simply a student-centered, household-friendly relational database capable of handling rather complex family structures an atypical naming conventions (did you know that the Dutch last names are still based on the father's first name?  Frederick Pederson's son's name could be Johann Frederickson and his daughter could be Gretel Fredericksdaughter?)

Any help would be appreciated!
