History - Blunders #$! :-(

• We broke the API between civi 1.x and civi 2.x • Lack of focus on usability, specifically navigation

in 2.x and prior • Install, upgrade and site move process

Data Ecosystem / CRM / PDF Report

• Highest adoption rate for orgs up to $500K• User satisfaction rating of A or A- in all

categories• 97% of all CiviCRM users would highly

recommend the system• CiviCRM ranked in the top ten (3.57/5.0) in

political campaign systems (PDF report)• In most cases we rank as good or better than

the big guys: Salesforce, Convio, Blackbaud.
