Technology and development
Some of the ways technology can help in development are:
Fundraising. Charities depend on outside funding, and can spend plenty of time and resources seeking funds. Help them create grant applications faster with an automated process. And exploit info from past applications with rich search, custom workflows and in-document contextual actions.
Compliance. The rules and regulations for using donated funds are complex. Use the 2007 Microsoft Office system technology to help an organization track data. Create standard forms. Improve workflow approval processes. And keep the charity in good standing with its benefactors.
Data Management. Many charities monitor an activity as part of their work, be it ecological, educational or economic. Create a solution that helps them collect, compile and analyze this data. Consider using SharePoint Portal Server 2007 as your base.
Community Outreach. Establishing and maintaining a presence in a community is critical to the success of every charity. Help your organization reach its target audience with wikis, blogs and RSS technology. Streamline the process of creating and distributing newsletters.
