As stated by a Kintera representative “The Kintera Connect platform enables us to create an integrated solution that we believe will enable nonprofit organizations to raise money more efficiently,” said Doug Coswell, CEO of Advizor Solutions. “The idea to contact Kintera and join the program actually came from one of our nonprofit clients, so we know the demand exists and we are confident that nonprofits will find the solution easy to use and vital to the overall understanding of donor behavior.”
Kintera Connect is the company’s open application integration platform and enables clients and partners to integrate their third party solutions with Kintera technology. A current example of this is Freecause, who have developed a customisable browser tool that enables nonprofit organisations to utilise the extensive segmentation capabilities of Kintera’s technology directly from the browser toolbar.
In addition to Kintera Connect, both clients and partners benefit from the company’s multi-tenant architecture. Unlike many other client/server or hosted ASP environments, Kintera's "multi-tenancy" enables all clients and applications to share one centrally maintained common infrastructure and code base. As a result, clients benefit from low costs, rapid deployment, ongoing maintenance and upgrades, and a focus on scalability and performance.
The architecture used creates a distinct boundary between Kintera's open platform and the applications that run on it. It also provides consistent Application Programmable Interfaces, which means that all Kintera partners can develop an application integrated with Kintera technology once and offer it to many clients.
“We launched Kintera Connect to provide nonprofits with the solutions that best meet their unique needs,” said Steve Johnson, vice president of channels for Kintera. “With more than 4,000 clients ranging from small, local charities to large, multi-chapter organizations, we knew we had to do what was right for the industry. The addition of Advizor Solutions to our Kintera Connect partner program demonstrates that our decision to partner with application developers and solution providers was the right one.”
