DonorTec Staff to Attend Global Summit
|
|
We here at DonorTec and Connecting Up Australia are constantly striving to improve efficiency and productivity within our own organisation so we can become better equipped to serve our stakeholders. As DonorTec is one of many countries incorporated in this federated technology giving program some of us here will be attending the 2009 Global Partner Summit in San Francisco http://pngo.techsoupglobal.org/globalsummit_2009.
At this summit DonorTec will be sharing its knowledge, strengthening its networks and partnerships whilst learning how to better serve you. What this means is that over the coming week our resources will be quite stretched so we are asking for your patience and understanding as your enquiries may take a little longer than normal to be answered. Please know that as valuable clients we will do our best to attend to your queries in a timely manner and any delays in response time will only be a temporary state of affairs as we move in to the future.

Tough times don’t last but people do!
|
|
With the media full of doom and gloom and access to funds shrinking nonprofit organisations are looking for tips on how to survive in uncertain times, ideas for different ways to do what they do and hints on how to find the opportunities and inspiration.
The Connecting Up 09 conference brings together nonprofit organisations to collaborate and share what’s working and explore the theme:
How technology, social media and networking is changing the way nonprofit organisations operate, communicate and connect with their supporters, members and beneficiaries.
Innovation will also be celebrated with the community organisation awards to be announced during the conference focusing on how nonprofits are using technology.
The conference is joined by an exceptional line up of keynote speakers who are leading thinkers in their field and who are giving their time to support nonprofits. Keynote speakers include:
Participants also have an opportunity to find out what other nonprofits from across Australia and New Zealand are doing in relation to: social action; service delivery; supporter relations and fundraising; networking and community building; technology; governance and social entrepreneurship.

A Field Guide to Servers
|
|
Understanding how servers can make your nonprofit’s tech infrastructure more powerful
When someone refers to a server, what are they talking about? Put most simply, a server is a piece of software or hardware that provides resources to one or more computers on a network. The word “server” causes some confusion because it’s used as a catch-all term for several distinct things. Server applications, like Microsoft Exchange or Office Communications Server, are referred to in common parlance as servers, but the operating systems that those applications run on (for example, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 or Small Business Server 2008) and the physical computers that those operating systems are installed on are also called servers.
Your nonprofit’s server needs will vary widely, depending on the size and type of your organization as well as what IT resources you have available. Knowing the needs of your nonprofit and how those needs can be better met with servers, you can feel confident in investing your organization’s time and money in an appropriate server solution.
In this field guide, we’ll take a look at a wide range of servers to establish what some of the most common ones do and some examples so that you can see what fits your needs.

What is a Seat and is there a minimum to how many Microsoft products I can order?
All Microsoft orders placed via DonorTec must include a minimum of five "seats." One licence = one seat. This means if you only intend to order 2 licenses you will be required to order another 3 seats/licenses to reach the minimum requirement. We suggest to organisations that need to reach this minimum requirement to look at ordering the cheapest product in our current catalogue that has an administration fee of $3.00
This means if you were to order 3 licenses of this product you would reach the minimum seat requirement for only an extra $9.90 which is inclusive of GST.
