Working with a managed IT service provider is not a new idea for small businesses, but nonprofits have not historically moved in this direction.

However, as long-term budgets tighten and leaders clamor for new tools to drive social change, managed service providers that specialize in non-profits and ingenious are becoming even more attractive to organizations.

The rapid pace of technology change can stretch even the most well-staffed organization. Having a collaboration partner allows non-profit managers the ability to essentially lease technology expertise, providing for quicker upgrades and the ability to be more nimble in their business moves.

As businesses shift towards the flexibility of allowing employees to personal devices and working from home, it is even more important that end-to-end solutions are available.

Finally, the fixed price for technology management allows nonprofits to budget more effectively on an ongoing basis while still having the benefit of regularly-scheduled upgrades for security and functionality that are critical to their success. Quick access to a team of professionals means nonprofits are able to focus on their core competencies instead of on day-to-day technical operations.

Advances in technology offer nonprofits the ability to further their mission; while the managed services sector provides an implementation and ongoing maintenance model that truly works with their flow of business. From cybersecurity to data storage and hosting, finding the ideal mix of services allows your not-for-profit technology leadership to focus on future advances instead of dealing with daily infrastructure challenges that take time and focus away from your core business needs.
