As company names go, Electric Plum is almost as good as Purple Vision, although perhaps not as good as Speedy Tomato (a company a friend of mine worked for that I believe was a victim of the dot.com bubble burst ten years ago!)
But Electric Plum is significant, because it is the start up company created by Shaun Sullivan the former Chief Technology Officer at Blackbaud.
In his own words Electric Plum is a "startup focusing on mobile apps, and the mobile Web. One area we will focus on is bringing innovative mobile solutions to compliment the Blackbaud Raiser's Edge and Infinity-based offerings."
It'll be interesting to see how Electric Plum fairs, in the light of other young companies whose business is built primarily around offering complimentary solutions to Blackbaud's products, such as Omatic Software.
It'll also be interesting to see what now happens to the long anticipated Raiser's Edge 8 - or whatever the new version on the Infinity Platform will be called. Our friends at RE-Decoded are also watching news on this very closely - an updated version of Raiser's Edge will surely be necessary sometime soon if Blackbaud are going to hold off the challenge from Salesforce and it's CRM offering to the non-profit sector.
Looks promising simply because the future is closely related to mobile gadgets with internet surfing capabilities. A lot would depend on how they present themselves and their products if they would succeed or not.
