These excerpts taken from the BLKB 10-K filed Mar 2, 2009.

We might face challenges in integrating our recent acquisitions and, as a result, might not realize the expected benefits of this recent acquisition.

In July 2008, we acquired Kintera and during 2007 we acquired the Target Companies and eTapestry. Managing and integrating the operations and personnel of an acquired company can be a complex process. The integration might not be completed rapidly or achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. The successful integration of the acquired companies will require, among other things, coordination of various departments, including product development, engineering, sales and marketing and finance. Further, a successful integration of the acquired companies internal control structure will be required. The diversion of the attention of management and any difficulties encountered in this process could cause the disruption of, or a loss of momentum in, sales or product development. The inability to successfully integrate the operations and personnel of our recently acquired companies, or any significant delay in achieving integration, could have a material adverse effect on our business and on the market price of our common stock.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The success of our recent acquisitions will depend in part on our ability to retain their engineering, sales, marketing, development and other personnel. It is possible that these employees might decide to terminate
their employment. If key employees terminate their employment, the sales, marketing or development activities of the acquired companies might be adversely affected, our management’s attention might be diverted from successfully integrating the
acquired operations to hiring suitable replacements and, as a result, our business might suffer.
