Nonprofits, like other small businesses, face considerable IT challenges that can impede their organization’s core mission. Optimizing your tech services is a key factor in overcoming these challenges and improving the overall business operations of your nonprofit.
Some Examples of Typical Tech Problems
- Your computer keeps deleting the grant application you’ve been working on for the past 3 weeks because your storage is too full.
- Your phone keeps sending your selfies to your boss and you can’t figure out why.
- You want to tweet that there’s a clothing drive on Friday, but you can’t figure out why your Wi-Fi isn’t working.
- You think an update is going to a fancy restaurant instead of McDonald’s.
- You had no idea why people keep saying your music is “in the cloud.”
If any of the above statements relate to you –don’t fret. The world of telecommunications can be daunting and overwhelming to organizations currently transitioning to the newest and most efficient services available. The terminology, the wires, and the codes are just some of the things that scare nonprofits away.
What nonprofit has time to manage services and host data when they’re saving lives, rolling their sleeves up, and inspiring communities?
