The Future of StratusLIVE: Moving to Microsoft Azure in 2025

As we look toward the future, StratusLIVE is excited to announce that we are bringing the StratusLIVE 365 CRM onto Microsoft Dynamics 365 Online in the Microsoft Azure Cloud in 2025. This will mark a significant milestone in our journey, providing clients with even more powerful, scalable, and secure solutions. 

Moving StratusLIVE’s CRM to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Online in Microsoft Azure will allow clients to benefit from enhanced performance, faster innovation, and the flexibility to grow with their evolving needs. 

For nonprofits, this transition to the Microsoft Azure cloud means: 

• Faster Innovation: Nonprofits will have access to Microsoft’s full Cloud-based technology and tools resulting in improved integration of data and processes, comprehensive analytics, and the latest developments in AI-enabled business applications.
• Increased Scalability: The Microsoft Azure Cloud infrastructure will allow our CRM to scale effortlessly, supporting nonprofits of all sizes as they grow their donor base and expand their operations.
• Improved Security: With Microsoft Azure’s world-class security and compliance standards, nonprofits can trust that their donor and operational data will remain protected at the highest level.

We have been working closely with Microsoft Tech for Social Impact (TSI) to ensure that this transition is seamless and effective. Our goal is to provide nonprofits with a full Azure-based Cloud solution that offers all the benefits of Microsoft’s integrated data management and analytics, AI-enabled innovation, and scalable infrastructure. 

This move will allow StratusLIVE to continue offering best-in-class CRM functionality for nonprofits as well as enable organizations to operate more flexibly, with anytime, anywhere access to their critical data and systems. This full StratusLIVE 365 Online solution in Microsoft Azure will be available to our clients in 2025. 

StratusLIVE and Microsoft’s Tech for Social Impact Program 

For over 15 years, StratusLIVE has collaborated with Microsoft, most recently through the Tech for Social Impact (TSI) program to empower nonprofits with advanced technology that drives meaningful change.

This relationship is built on a shared vision: equipping organizations with the tools they need to streamline operations, engage donors, and maximize fundraising success, allowing nonprofits to thrive in a dynamic world.

Why StratusLIVE?

Our long-standing relationship with Microsoft underscores a mutual commitment to helping nonprofits overcome unique challenges. The StratusLIVE 365 Nonprofit CRM, purpose-built on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform, combines the familiarity of Microsoft tools with nonprofit-specific features that support initiatives ranging from capital campaigns and peer-to-peer fundraisers to major gift cultivation.

For example, StratusLIVE’s extensive experience with large-scale nonprofit organizations makes us a trusted provider for clients managing expansive constituent networks and complex operational needs.

Organizations such as United Way of Southeastern Michigan, MedStar Health, National Wildlife Federation, and National 4-H Council rely on StratusLIVE 365 CRM to manage their extensive donor and constituent relationships, streamline processes, and drive deeper engagement.

In addition to our CRM expertise, StratusLIVE plays a significant role in corporate philanthropy through our Microsoft Azure-based Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) platform, StratusLIVE Give at Work.

This platform enables companies to manage workplace giving, volunteer programs, and matching gift initiatives at scale. Organizations like Delta, Ford, Crayola, and the NCAA use Give at Work to foster a culture of giving, empower employees to engage with charitable causes, and streamline CSR efforts. Our experience across both nonprofit and corporate sectors positions StratusLIVE as a leader in delivering solutions that enhance engagement and amplify mission impact.

As Microsoft innovates, we ensure our clients continue to benefit from the latest technology while maintaining a steadfast focus on their mission.

A Longstanding Commitment to Nonprofit Success

For over a decade, StratusLIVE has leveraged Microsoft’s powerful technology to deliver nonprofit-focused solutions. The StratusLIVE 365 CRM helps organizations manage complex operations, integrating seamlessly with tools like Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Teams to simplify everyday tasks and increase productivity.

Ongoing collaboration with the Microsoft TSI team has allowed us to implement enhancements such as Microsoft Power BI analytics, enabling nonprofits to turn donor data into actionable insights that drive informed decision-making.

Microsoft’s Ongoing Commitment to Nonprofits

Microsoft’s Tech for Social Impact program has been a vital resource, offering grants, Microsoft cloud services, and technical expertise that make digital transformation accessible for nonprofits.

By working closely with TSI, StratusLIVE ensures that nonprofits can access essential technology without barriers like cost and complexity. The upcoming shift to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Online in Azure further supports this mission, providing nonprofits with flexibility in deployment and a path to future-proof their operations.
