Technology for Social Good Podcast
Ellen Cowan of Avanade and Jean-Louise Ecochard of NetHope discuss the importance of collaboration as a way for non-profits to drive social innovation.
Empowering non-profits through digital technology
At Avanade, we care about the people and communities where we work and live. We want to bring the power of the cloud and digital technology to non-profit organizations to digitally transform their workplaces and accelerate their social impact.
We know that non-profits and the social sector as a whole face systemic challenges in using technology. They lack scalable industry solutions and technology talent. In addition, they face accelerating financial pressure stemming from the lack of affordable technology services – cloud services in particular. Couple this with the increasing need for cybersecurity and the demands of donors for more transparency, and it’s easy to see that systemic change is needed.
“The social sector, non-profits and NGO’s face many challenges and are typically behind in the adoption of digital technologies, and that is where Avanade, partnering with Microsoft, can really help. Our solutions will be cutting-edge, relevant, affordable and repeatable and designed to solve the complex issues faced by non-profits.”
Creating change through technology
We can help bring about the change needed and make a genuine human impact with our Technology for Social Good program, which consists of repeatable solutions, tailored to the specific needs of the non-profit sector. Solutions include Donor Management and Fundraising, Volunteer Management, Grant and Award Management, Sourcing and Supply, to name a few.
Our goal is to become a trusted partner to non-profits for delivering Microsoft technologies globally. As Microsoft’s leading alliance partner, we can provide affordable technology services for IT strategy, delivery and training for the non-profit market – helping to create significant social impact through the power of technology.
