How dynamic technology can help your non-profit

Technology moves at a startling pace and it can be overwhelming trying to keep up. However, whilst it is tempting for all of us to stick to what we are familiar with, there are a number of ways dynamic IT can help you with your work. Whether streamlining your monitoring and evaluation process or taking your work mobile, here are some of the immediate benefits to exploring fresh and innovative tech:

Real-Time Access to Data

Collecting data on paper is outdated and laborious. Tablet forms allow your team to collect information on the go and sync it automatically so that all team members regardless of geography have real-time access to the data that shapes your program delivery and substantiates your impact – saving trees in the process!

This improved access to data will allow your teams to more effectively report back to donors and link specific project updates to your various funding streams, so your supporters can actively follow the impact of their contributions.

Work Anywhere

Moving to the Cloud is a cost-effective way to better communicate and collaborate with team members inside and outside your organisation. With teams increasingly mobile and spread out over the world, Cloud tech will allow you to work seamlessly regardless of location or device.

Mobile Sign-Up

Whether widening the delivery of your programs or simplifying supporters and donor sign-up, mobile technology can save you time and money. Whether adding in a simple QR code to your campaign materials or using a digital form on a hand-held device, there are several ways mobile tech can help boost your impact.

More importantly, with less widespread use of fixed internet in developing economies, mobile phones are incredibly important tools in the areas you likely deliver your programs. Exploring the use of mobile tech would allow your program participants to use their phones to report in, answer survey questions and access a wealth of information on your services.
