Telecommuting Rose By 87%

The Challenge:To provide remote users with reliable, and uninterrupted access to their data.

A Story of Success:Donna Dunn, CAE, Executive Director

and CEO of Association of YMCA

Professionals, made the decision to

remove their on premise systems in

favor of adopting a cloud solution. "We

haven't had a server for nearly four

years. No crashes, no upgrades, no

hardware, no maintenance, no

exceeding capacity.”

JUGGLING MULTIPLE ROLES

Is technology your responsibility, but not your expertise?

“I’m a marketer. And a

fundraiser. And a volunteer

coordinator. And a case manager. And…”

Most small staff

associations do not

have internal expertise

to properly assess and

determine the

technical requirements

necessary to meet

their needs.

Even if the scope of work is clearly defined, an

organization can expect to spend significant time

planning technology implementations.

HIDDEN COSTS

One of the most overlooked costs

associated with maintaining on

premise systems are environmental,

which include :

✔ Power Supply✔ Cooling✔ Internet Connectivity✔ Physical Security

Grenfell House & Training, a London based nonprofit,

migrated their systems off premise, and into a cloud

environment.

Grenfell House & Training was able to significantly reduce their energy bill, save on other technology related expenses, and increase employee productivity.

Whether you're seeking to reduce costs, improve

employee productivity, or remove the responsibilities

of on premise systems, a cloud solution can

significantly reduce the technology challenges of a

small staff association.
