“IT Matters” a free briefing on why your IT needs to be better!

This is a new briefing delivered by the Third Sector Hub to help break down some myths about IT and to demonstrate the importance of effective IT to the survivability of our local Third Sector Organisations.

We live in a 21st century world of IT and internet technology. Those individuals and organisations online are demonstrably better off, more resilient, quicker reacting and are competitive. Organisations with effective IT infrastructures are more productive and cost-effective. So Third Sector Organisations not making the most of email, internet, IT systems and software are putting themselves at an unnecessary disadvantage.

Cost is no longer an excuse. Computers and hardware has never been cheaper. Software is free. Websites can cost very little. It’s the knowledge and motivation that holds most organisations back. If technology is easy and cheap, why are organisations not taking it up?

The Third Sector Hub is promoting Effective IT. Third Sector Organisations need to have the right equipment, the right software, the right systems, the right online presence and, critically, the right advice and support to be resilient, sustainable and effective.

This briefing will cover key points about why IT is not just a ‘nice to have’, but is critical for the long term survival of Third Sector Organisaations. The briefing will introduce the options available and how to get huge results from small investment. And we’ll open up a workshop discussion after the briefing to help groups get the right support to move their IT forward.

If your organisation would like better support from IT or if you realise that your IT systems are holding you back, please invest some of your time on this free briefing and workshop to see what to do next.
