Metafile Partners With Rediker Software To Benefit Schools

 

Premium Fundraising Software Integrates with Leading School Administrative Software Package

MAY 2006 � Metafile Information Systems, Inc. ( http://www.ResultsplusSoftware.com ) has partnered with Rediker Software ( http://www.rediker.com ) to provide school clients with the best possible integrated software solution for fundraising/contact management and school administration on the market today.

The pairing has gone smoothly, as Metafile and Rediker discovered they share an amazingly similar background. Both companies have been privately held software providers since 1979, with long histories of customer satisfaction. Both have retained many of their original customers and staff in spite of huge changes in the software industry over the past 25+ years. Now, the two companies are addressing their common goal of serving the needs of schools worldwide by integrating Metafile�s popular resultsplus! fundraising software and Rediker�s long-standing Administrator�s Plus school administration software.

"It's exciting to work with another company that cares as much about its clients as we do," says Amanda Mallinger, Metafile�s resultsplus! Product Manager. "Rediker's Administrator's Plus software provides the features schools need for effective administration, while Metafile's resultsplus! provides the school's development officers the tools they need to effectively raise funds and cultivate relationships with their students, alumni, parents, and other donors, both individual and corporate. Providing integration between the two applications enables both companies to serve the needs of schools even better than before."

Rediker Software�s founder and CEO, Rich Rediker, agrees wholeheartedly. "Rediker Software is proud to include resultsplus! as a member of our School Office Suite�. As we began to work with Metafile, we discovered that they have a company history and culture very much like our own, even down to the same number of years in the software development business. They have been providing fundraising software solutions for nonprofits for as long as we have been serving schools with our full range of administrative software. And to top it off, they already had �PLUS� in their name!"

Rediker adds, "We found Metafile�s resultsplus! product to be user-friendly, intuitive, and highly consistent with Rediker Software�s vision of quality for our Administrator's Plus software. It�s a great partnership. They have a strong cooperative spirit and are as committed to meeting the needs of our customers as we are by providing this new software integration."
