Department of Alumni Relations DARWIN Project Go Live 8/1
Department of Alumni Relations (DAR) is implementing a new system today, Monday, August 1st, that will impact Boson University alumni. The project is called DARWIN.
DARWIN (Development & Alumni Relations Web-based Information Network) is a multiyear, multiphase effort to replace the current UIS alumni database and enhance the operating efficiencies of Development & Alumni Relations and its BU community partners. The DARWIN Project Team began planning for the Blackbaud eCRM (Enterprise Constituent Relationship Management) system implementation in June of 2010, and the project will launch in on Monday, August 1st. For more information on this project, you can visit http://www.bu.edu/budarwin/.
One common issue we have seen is that the AD password is not yet sync’d. An easy way to check this is to see if ADPW is set to ‘generate’ or ‘ksync’. If it is set to ‘generate’, then have the client visit http://www.bu.edu/kpw to sync their password with AD.
Otherwise, please refer all calls from Alumni experiencing issues to DAR’s Help Desk with a warm transfer to 3-9513 or by sending the ticket as an external email to aluis@bu.edu.
