Technology Solutions for Limited Budgets
Because we have been serving nonprofits since 1986, we have learned about all
kinds of ways nonprofits can save money implementing technology, and have even
created a few of our own. Once nonprofits become clients of ours, we
enlighten them with information like:
- Retail versions of popular software can be bought for pennies
on the dollar. Multiple copies of Microsoft Office, Windows & server
products; Intuit QuickBooks accounting software, File Maker, etc. for both Macs
and PCs are available.
- Free computers and peripherals are available from national,
reputable organizations.
- Top-quality PCs and servers can be bought for half the cost
of Dells, Compaqs, etc.
- Networking equipment from Cisco can be had for free, and the setup of it
can be had for a very low cost.
- Fully functional, popular e-mail client software is available
free.
- Rather than pay expensive, continuing fees to an
ISP for multiple e-mail
accounts, or pay for high-cost e-mail server software like
Microsoft Exchange, our
clients either have us maintain low-cost, very good e-mail server software for
them, or have us host and manage e-mail accounts for a low cost.
- INDEX can set up Internet access, for multiple PCs, for only
$25/month paid to an ISP.
