Product Feature - Windows Small Business Server 2008
Windows Small Business Server 2008 is an all-in-one server solution designed to help you keep your data more secure and your organisation more productive. It provides many of the features used by larger companies, such as e-mail, Internet connectivity, internal Web sites, remote access, support for mobile devices, file and printer sharing, backup, and restore.

Windows Small Business Server (Windows SBS) 2008 represents the next-generation integrated server solution for small organisations with up to 75 users or network devices. Windows SBS 2008 offers a combination of technologies and management capabilities tailored to your small-business customers. Streamlined installation and management functions can improve your customers' operational efficiency and free you to focus on your role of trusted advisor, as you help your customers grow their businesses at a cost-effective price - and a manageable pace.

Organisations just like yours are reaping the rewards of the Small Business Server’s increased functionality:

"The donations of software we recently received from Microsoft through DonorTec enabled us to install a small business server and all the associated functionality. We are now able to ensure that the integrity of our client files is secure and are able to share information across the organisation in a seamless manner. This has also enabled us to upgrade to a domain name so that all our staff now have access to email. The overall benefits to our organisation have been a more professional level of operations that puts us on the same level as many of our corporate associates."
Colleen Ensor, Program Coordinator Homessa Inc

10 Steps for Planning a Successful Webinar
Online seminars, or webinars, are a dynamic, engaging way to convey information to a geographically dispersed audience on a budget. If your non-profit faces an ongoing need to share information long-distance but has limited education and travel funds, webinars can help you save money --- and reduce your carbon footprint --- while providing a valuable service to your constituents.

Restoring IT Infrastructure - A Manual for Disaster Recovery

Our good friends and partners at TechSoup Global (who have sent there sincere condolences to the victims of the bushfires in Victoria) have kindly made us aware of a manual designed to ensure technology systems are working again in small- and medium-sized nonprofits.

Recovering from a disaster is difficult even in the best of circumstances. Yet while technology is unlikely to be your top priority after an earthquake, fire, flood, or other catastrophe, taking a few minutes to address some key issues will help your organization recover, returning quickly from crisis management to normal day-to-day operations.

To view the guide please click here...

Please note that Connecting Up Australia's DonorTec program, TechSoup Global and our major donor partners are working together to help alleviate the effects of the Victorian bushfires on the organisations that have been affected.
