Best of Suite (BoS)

In a Best of Suite architecture, a comprehensive software solution from a single provider is chosen, covering multiple areas such as CRM, email marketing, and payment processing. This architecture reduces the number of API interfaces and simplifies data management for nonprofits. However, a Best of Suite architecture creates a strong dependency on one software provider, is complex to use, and still rarely meets all the needs of an organization. For smaller and mid-sized charities, a Best of Breed architecture is often more favorable in the long run.
