Texas Development to Update VIP to New Platform
In March 2025, Texas Development will launch SPUR (System for Philanthropy and University Relations) a modern, scalable customer relationship management (CRM) platform to enable a planned consolidation and integration of functions currently managed through systems like VIP, Cognos, Events, OGP and Eloqua. Utilizing the Salesforce platform, SPUR is replacing VIP and includes a centralized donor database and powerful analytics and reporting.
More information is available here. Please submit questions or feedback to the project team here.
