Blackbaud enters strategic innovation partnership with Student First for higher education connected campus push

Blackbaud entered a strategic innovation partnership with Student First to integrate systems and data across higher education campuses.

The collaboration spans product, sales and marketing to advance a connected-campus model linking SIS with finance, advancement, scholarships, aid and payments.

The partnership aims to cut manual administrative work via AI-driven workflow automation, improve visibility across departments and support data-driven decisions.

It builds on Blackbaud’s earlier strategic investment in Student First and existing work through the Blackbaud Partner Network.
