Is anyone using AuctionMaestro Pro for their silent auctions? We currently use the Event module and with a big event next year with lot's of silent auction items, I'm thinking this might be ideal. Are there any issues with integration with RE? I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences...

I work at an independent school that runs an annual auction. We have been using AuctionMaestro Pro for two years, and have found that we use very little of its overall functionality. We are exploring whether or not we can run the auction without AMP, using just Raiser's Edge (we have the events module...

Can anyone give me a summary of the current status of the Auction Maestro Pro and RE integration product? Pluses and minuses? I would especially appreciate hearing from anyone who is actually using the products.

Hi Staci, Blackbaud purchased AuctionMaestro Pro (AMP) some time ago (year+) and I would bet at some point there will be an internal module so third party softwares (and the lovely plug-ins that come with them) aren't needed. A client of mine in the midwest had used AMP this past year for the first...

We also are an independent school with a yearly auction and we are considering getting the integration piece but it will not happen until AFTER we need to import our data from MaestroSoft into RE. ANy suggestions out there? AND does anyone knowif the Events Module is required for the running of the Integration...

Hello Brandon, We have had the same experience with our events, double entry in AMP and RE, not to mention additional work utilizing AMP. Did you receive any responses with recommendations? Thanks, Alexa Adamo-Valverde Director of Development Partnership Against Domestic Violence

We currently use AuctionMaestro Pro (not integrated with RE), and find that it creates addtional work, since the event information (and the gift information) has go into RE Events as well as AMP. I'm not seeing the added value. We are considering...

I would not suggest AMP to anyone at this point of the software's development. We purchased and are using it and have had nothing but problems. And not just because it is a new program. Many parts of this program are buggy, and while we have found work-arounds for many, we have at least three pieces...

Hi Yolanda, We just purchased "AuctionPay" b/c of the price and online advances. We have used "Auction MaestroPro" in the past and it worked well for about 10 of the 15 years we used it. It is just not up-to-date either. So, we looked into AuctionPay and another local Kansas City...

We do a large wine event every year as well and have used RE with great success in tracking a variety of things. We use Auction Maestro Pro to track all auction donations because it has an inventory tool. However, we acknowledge all these gifts out of RE. Interestingly enough, we don't add any of...
