About the client

National Deaf Children’s Society

The National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS) is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to supporting deaf children, young people, and their families. Their mission is to break down barriers, provide life-changing support, and ensure every deaf child has the same opportunities as any other child. With thousands of members and supporters across the UK, NDCS depends on secure, scalable, and reliable digital systems to manage engagement, fundraising, and communication.

The challenge

Challenges Faced

  1. NDCS relied on an on-premise Blackbaud system, which created limitations in flexibility, scalability, and long-term sustainability.

  2. Managing updates and ensuring compliance was becoming increasingly resource-heavy.

  3. Integration with modern digital platforms and supporter tools was restricted.

  4. Security risks and downtime concerns with ageing infrastructure.

  5. Difficulty adapting systems to evolving fundraising and engagement needs.

Our approach

Our Strategy

  1. Blackbaud Cloud Migration

    • Assessing current on-premise infrastructure and dependencies.
    • Planning and executing the migration to Blackbaud’s cloud environment.
    • Ensuring data integrity, security, and minimal downtime during the transition.
    • Streamlining integrations with existing systems for supporter engagement and fundraising.
    • Providing post-migration support and training for NDCS teams.
