On Using What You Have to Resist Buying What You Do Not Need: An IT Fable from the Front Lines | Nonprofit Quarterly

On Using What You Have to Resist Buying What You Do Not Need: An IT Fable from the Front Lines | Nonprofit Quarterly: "he Nonprofit Quarterly has heard any number of stories about nonprofits trying to piece together the right IT infrastructure only to be met with a confusing array of options. Each of the options carries attendant costs beyond the purchase or lease—sometimes up to and including the need to purchase another solution when the one opted for does not fit properly. We liked this story from Trish Tchume of the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network (YNPN), who engaged people within her own network to help get the right fit. In the end, she wound up not only with a system suited to the network’s needs but also a group of people within that network who are ongoing and engaged resources for YNPN as it moves into a more sophisticated digital future."
