Last year the big news in my industry was Blackbaud’s acquisition of Convio and the merger/acquisition of Datatel and Sungard Higher Education (now called Ellucian). 2013 is off to a bang with Accel-KKR’s acquisition of Sage’s Nonprofit Solutions Group and iModules acquisition of Harris Connect.
The Sage staff I’ve talked to can’t comment publicly until the sale is final, which they hope will happen this month. Millennium users, at least, seem excited about the change and the possibility of new investment in the product.
The press release for the iModules deal says Harris Connect “will be supported … for the foreseeable future.” I’ve heard that Harris clients are being given a year to decide if they are going to move to iModules. If they do, they’ll have to pay conversion fees.

March 4, 2013 at 6:36 pmAs the president of iModules, I want to be clear that we do not have any specific timeline for migration. We will work with each customer individually to determine what makes sense for them and for ourselves.
Should customers have any questions, they should feel free to contact us directly – via their customer relationship manager, marketing@imodules.com, or me directly at fweiss@imodules.com

March 21, 2013 at 9:17 amThe sale of Sage’s nonprofit solutions software group to Accel-KKR has been completed. Sage Millennium, Sage 100 Fund Accounting, Sage Fundraising 50, Sage Grant Management, Sage Nonprofit Online, Sage ACT!, and Sage SalesLogix are no longer part of Sage. I assume that new names are in the works.
