**Blackbaud, the technology provider for non-profits and educational institutions,
will be offering Microsoft® SQL Server 2000 versions of its applications.**

The SQL Server solution will be released in early summer, say Blackbaud, and others
will follow.
Blackbaud’s Chief Technology Officer Shaun Sullivan explained the firm’s
choice of Microsoft’s SQL Server 2000 as a database engine for its products. Its“
combination of ease and speed is exactly what nonprofit and education professionals
need to help them get their jobs done quickly and effectively.

“Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is a world-class database, and Microsoft is continually
improving the product line. By migrating to this platform, Blackbaud is best positioned
to leverage this constant innovation,” he added.

The first product to use Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is version 7.2 of The Financial
Edge(tm), the company’s financial management software for non-profits, which should
be released this month.

The Microsoft SQL Server 2000 version of fundraising database The Raiser’s Edge®
will be released “later in 2003.”
