**Help the Aged has appointed The Software Bureau to help it move its donor management
activities in-house. The charity will use the company’s data processing product 
Cygnus ES to help it achieve greater control of its data and reduce the cost of 
donor recruitment and retention.**

[The Software Bureau](http://www.thesoftwarebureau.com) will be implementing and
supporting Cygnus ES’ Embedded Suppressions module which offers a wide range of 
data preparation techniques and a number of key suppression files. This allows users
to clean and process utilise their own data without the retainer fees charged by
some bureaux.

Stephen Newberry at Help the Aged said: “This solution was the best we came across
in terms of keeping our data secure, retaining absolute control and ensuring we 
are recruiting and retaining donors in the most cost-effective way possible.”
