This month sees the launch of our campaign, “Technology for Good”.
Our Technology for Good program was set up to focus on the Charity and Not for Profit Sector, with the aim of donations in kind by way of the services that we offer as a business.
The aim of the project is to offer a level of free services (including telecom’s calls, lines, and equipment) to a particular selection of Charities, thus allowing the money saved from these services to be used in other areas for which the Charity is focused; the most common method in which the project is used is by an initial review of the telecoms and IT services currently used with the Charity. This information is then used to ascertain which services, equipment or facilities we can supply for free for a period of time to the selected Charity.
To make this work we look to review all current contracts and services you have in place across all of you sites/centers in terms of telecoms and IT expenditure, and look to put forward a solution which eliminates the cost of the services associated with those areas, but equally as importantly improves the technology and support you have within the Charity.
The aim of the campaign is to provide charities access to the latest communications technologies – making their operations more effective and potentially saving them thousands of pounds.
Many charities are wary of new technology, preferring instead to “make do” and keep tight hold of their purse strings and existing supplier relationships, but we think there’s absolutely nothing wrong in that. After all, they are dealing with our money and have to be seen to be spending it as effectively and cautiously as possible, ensuring that most of it goes to the causes which are important to all of us. Which is why we feel it’s our duty to explain precisely how they can SAVE money and raise their service levels, by looking at how they can make the most of their existing infrastructure and potential networking capabilities using unified communications technology.
And putting aside the sole issue of cost, this technology could revolutionize charity work, coming into its own in warzones or areas of natural disaster, where doctors can liaise with medical specialists immediately and easily, across the globe.
We are already working side by side with several charities, helping to reduce its telecommunications charges and replacing its current telephony hardware.
Look out for forthcoming press items covering our campaign, over the next few weeks. If you feel your charity could benefit from this, please get in touch and speak to the Technology for Good team on: +44 (0) 203 463 1700 or email: emea@ca-plc.com
