Infinity SDK

Blackbaud CRM is built on Blackbaud's Infinityplatform. Depending on the solution, the Infinityplatform includes an SDK and web APIs. Blackbaud CRM includes both. When you develop using the Infinity SDK, you create specs which define features. You load the specs into a catalog. But the Infinity SDK also includes a project template that supports adding custom parts to BBIS.

When you customize BBIS, you may find that you only need to create custom parts. But if your customization involves custom integration with Blackbaud CRM, you may need to access Blackbaud CRM through one of its web APIs. If you need to customize an API, you may need to use other parts of the Infinity SDK.
