Rising Costs, Data Breaches, Staffing, Nonprofits Could Use a Break

If you are at fiscal year-end, you may be asking “Where did the year go, and will things ever get easier?” Nonprofits have all the pains and challenges of any business but with tighter budgets and limited resources.

Many nonprofits have been hit with the following challenges:

  • Rising costs
  • Attracting and retaining staff
  • Protecting from data breaches and cyber threats
  • Keeping up with technology while on a tight budget

Whether it is your year-end or not, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Progressive nonprofits have realized that when it comes to leveraging technology it is often best to let the experts do it so you can focus on delivering the services of your mission.

Technology is a double-edged sword. When properly implemented, it can help you to accomplish more, whereas if not well-managed technology can be costly, less efficient, and open you to major risks. The world of technology has become more complex requiring deep knowledge in multiple areas from cyber security, networking, cloud applications, phone/voice/video communications, and data protection. It becomes exceptionally difficult for just one or two people to manage an IT environment, as well as recruit and retain talented staff.
