| Exciting New Tool Gives You Access to Trusted Technology Vendors |
|
 But wait we need your help!
The team at DonorTec is developing an exciting new tool that provides non-profits and charitable organisations with access to information about trusted technology vendors, ICT support and consultants.
Save time!
DonorTec knows it takes time to find a vendor that understands the requirements of a non-profit client. To address this problem we have been developing a tool that will allow DonorTec registered organisations to view trusted vendors in their area. The features of the tool include the ability to:
- search by postcode
- view your results on a geographical mapping tool
- ability to rate and review ICT vendors listed with DonorTec.
A number of vendors have been approached and many DonorTec members have made us aware of their ICT support and vendors. But to make this tool information rich we need more data. We need to know about the ICT professionals you use to assist your non-profit.
- Technology support - who do you call if your server and computer freezes?
- Technology consultation - who do you ask for advice on your ICT planning?
- Technology vendor - do you have a preferred supplier when you purchase a new PC?
Send an email to support@donortec.com.au advising of the:
- Organisation/Company name
- Organisation/Company contact details, email preferred
- A brief explanation of service/s they provide to your organisation
How sharing will help you and others?
What you know will have a direct impact on Australia’s non-profit sector by increasing non-profit ICT capacity development nationally.
The information you provide will allow us to contact and introduce ICT organisations to our new tool and invite them to register with us.
The more responses we receive the more potentially great ICT solutions you will be providing for your own non-profit and those with whom you associate.

Selecting Software on a Shoestring
How to find the right software for your non-profit without breaking the bank
By: Laura S. Quinn
This article is courtesy of www.Idealware.org, which provides candid information to help non-profits choose effective software.
With so much software available on the market, you can find a solution to nearly every conceivable need. But if you have a simple need, how do you wade through those options to find something that will work for you without spending more on the selection process than on the software itself?
For expensive or mission-critical software, it makes sense to go through an involved process to find just the right package. First you carefully consider and document your requirements and prioritize them, making sure to include all stakeholders in the process. Then you scan the marketplace for tools that might fit the bill — maybe send out a request for proposals (RFP), demo the most appropriate software and evaluate it based on features, service and how well it meets your needs.
But what if you need something that’s neither a big investment nor particularly strategic for your organization — maybe just a simple solution to share files, allow Web site searches or track time?
In these circumstances, traditional selection techniques can seem awfully complicated and time-consuming. Few technology professionals would use extensive selection processes to pick a small software utility — but you rarely hear about alternatives. Here’s a simplified six-step process that can help when you just need to make a simple choice quickly.
