The Tailored Experience
A nonprofit CRM configuredfor your structure.
StratusLIVE 365 CRM is the Tailored Experience: an enterprise nonprofit CRM built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 for complex, multi-entity organizations. It is configured with your IT team, carries constituent management, fundraising, gift processing, and reporting on the Microsoft cloud, and connects to the same digital fundraising, donor self-service, and workplace giving surfaces as Ignite.
- Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Configured with your IT team
- One platform family with Ignite
Who chooses Tailored
Built for the organizations a standard setup can't hold.
Most nonprofits are served best by a guided, prescriptive platform. Some are not: their structure, IT practice, or integration needs call for a system shaped to them. That is who this experience is for.
IT teams that build
You have administrators and developers who extend your systems, and you want a platform that rewards that instead of fighting it.
Deep integration requirements
Finance systems, data warehouses, and line-of-business tools that need direct integration paths through Dataverse and the Power Platform.
Microsoft-standardized environments
Your organization runs on Microsoft. Your CRM works inside Outlook and Teams and fits the security model you already govern.

Two experiences
Guided or Tailored: an honest sorting.
Both experiences are StratusLIVE, and both serve the same mission: capacity for the team doing the work. The difference is delivery. If the Guided Experience fits your organization, we will tell you so.
| Ignite: Guided | StratusLIVE 365: Tailored | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Growing mid-market teams that want a prescriptive path and speed | Complex, multi-entity organizations with their own IT and integration needs |
| Foundation | StratusLIVE's purpose-built cloud platform | Microsoft Dynamics 365, Dataverse, and the Microsoft cloud |
| Configuration | Configured for you: guided onboarding and prescriptive defaults | Configured with you: custom entities, workflows, and integrations |
| Your IT team | Not required | A first-class participant, from scoping through go-live |
| Pricing | One annual subscription, set by revenue band | Custom enterprise pricing, scoped to your structure and scale |
Not sure which fits? That is the first thing a working session settles. Bring your structure and we will say plainly which experience serves it.
How Tailored implementations work
Scoped like the enterprise system it is.
A tailored system earns its keep in the setup. The work is phased, your IT team is in it from the start, and nothing goes live untested.
01
Scope
Entities, affiliates, funds, integrations, and reporting needs are mapped before anything is configured.
02
Configure
Dynamics entities, workflows, and security roles are shaped to your operating model, with your IT team in the loop.
03
Migrate and validate
Data migration runs in planned phases and is validated with your team before cutover.
04
Train and run
Role-based training for staff, then ongoing support from people who know your configuration.

Questions
Asked before every Tailored decision.
Straight answers on what StratusLIVE 365 is, how it relates to Ignite, and how the Tailored Experience is delivered.
What is StratusLIVE 365 CRM?
StratusLIVE 365 is an enterprise nonprofit CRM built on Microsoft Dynamics 365. It includes constituent management, fundraising, gift processing, grants, and reporting, and it is delivered as the Tailored Experience: configured with your team, on the Microsoft cloud.
How is StratusLIVE 365 different from Ignite?
They are two delivery experiences of one platform family. Ignite is the Guided Experience: prescriptive, fast to adopt, with revenue-band pricing quoted in writing. StratusLIVE 365 is the Tailored Experience: built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and configured deeply for complex, multi-entity organizations.
Is StratusLIVE 365 being replaced by Ignite?
No. StratusLIVE 365 is the Tailored path of the StratusLIVE platform family and continues to serve complex organizations. Ignite is the Guided path. Organizations choose the experience that fits how they operate.
Does StratusLIVE 365 fit a Microsoft-standard IT environment?
Yes. It is built on Dynamics 365 and Dataverse, staff work with it inside Outlook and Teams, and reporting runs through embedded Power BI.
How is StratusLIVE 365 priced?
Pricing is custom and scoped to your structure and scale: entities, constituent volume, integrations, and support model. A working session establishes scope before any number is quoted.
