We are seeing our customers being tasked with supporting a more mobile and agile workforce based on the most up-to-date solutions, but similarly being asked to work within shrinking budgets due to fundraising and ongoing challenges.
Leveraging our trusted and strategic relationships with key vendors, we establish frameworks and agreements that help charity customers reduce expenditure and benefit from economies of scale, irrespective of their size. We provide tailored licensing support across a range of software vendors as well as offering technical expertise and guidance from our Infrastructure and Cloud Teams to ultimately provide a solution that is fit for purpose, futureproof and in budget.
We are able to help organisations identify how existing services could be streamlined to optimise performance and reduce costs as well as to help design ‘cloud-first’ solutions using key technologies such as Office 365 and Azure.

But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the initiative accelerated.

Enable your organisation to digitally transform, accelerate its mission and drive greater impact.
Microsoft have introduced their Tech for Social Impact (TSI) Team who are dedicated to supporting organisations in the charity sector on their journey towards digital transformation. However, for many of our customers in this sector it is not always clear as to how they can leverage some of the non-profit offers from Microsoft in order to support their cloud strategies. Over the last couple of years Microsoft have offered those in this sector $3,500 credit in their Azure tenancy, Office 365 E1 licences free of charge and Office 365 Business Essentials free of charge.
