01
Working session and migration assessment
We map your data, your add-on stack, and your renewal timeline. You leave with a written assessment either way.
For teams leaving Raiser's Edge
Outgrown Raiser's Edge?Plan the move on your renewal timeline.
Ignite from StratusLIVE runs donors, gifts, events, email, and finance in one platform, with AI teammates that draft the next step and your team approving it. Start with an estimate built from your own contract numbers.
- Your numbers, your math, no invented savings
- Migration with validation and rollback
- Fixed-fee implementation scoped before you sign
The legacy database tax
You stopped asking your database questions years ago.
Not because you ran out of questions. Because every answer costs a query request, a consultant, or an export. Ignite is built the other way around: one platform for donors, gifts, events, marketing, and finance, with AI teammates that answer in plain language and act only with your approval.
Report requests queue behind the one person who can write a query
Events, email, and volunteers live in bolt-on tools that never quite sync
The renewal letter arrives with an increase and no conversation
The escape estimator
Your current stack, priced with your own numbers.
Enter what you actually pay today: license, add-on tools, and your typical renewal increase. We project your own three-year trajectory and tell you honestly whether your renewal window makes this the moment to move. Results are instant and ungated.
Your escape estimate
Fill in your numbers and your three-year current-stack trajectory appears here, with an honest read on whether your renewal window makes this the right moment to evaluate.
- Your license + add-on spend, projected over three years
- A contract-timing verdict: act now, plan ahead, or monitor
- What an Ignite quote would replace, without invented numbers

Three-year total on your current trajectory:
An illustrative projection, built from the figures you entered and from general assumptions. It is not a quote, and it is not a statement of what any vendor charges.
The escape route
Decades of data deserve a careful move.
The reason teams stay on a database they've outgrown is fear of the migration. So the migration is where we put the engineering.

02
Import with validation and rollback
Your records come across through templated imports with field mapping, validation, a full audit trail, and rollback if anything looks wrong.
03
Duplicates resolved, safely
Multi-strategy duplicate detection finds the records decades of data entry created. Every merge is audited and reversible for 30 days.
04
Parallel run, then cutover
You run both systems until your team trusts the numbers, then cut over on your schedule. Live in weeks, not a year-long project.
“The Ignite platform empowered us to transition quickly, launching nearly 100 donation pages in a day, without disrupting our operations.”
Quarterly workshop

A working session on planning a legacy database migration: data mapping, timeline, team readiness, and what to negotiate before your renewal. Check the box in the form below and we'll save you a seat at the next one.
Your renewal date is your leverage.
Find your window, run the numbers, and evaluate on your schedule, not your vendor's.
Plan the escape before the renewal.
A migration assessment, mapped to your contract timeline.
