With the economy hurting nonprofits\' donor bases, it is more important than ever for charities to reduce expenses and allocate the optimal amount of resources to achieving their missions.

By evaluating the existing information-technology environment, nonprofits can identify inefficiencies and develop a road map that will lead them to significant cost savings and increased productivity.

1.    Look for excess and inefficiencies
2.    Evaluate the user experience
3.    Review existing vendor contracts

By examining your organization’s current IT structure, future needs and user experience, you can save money, become more efficient and allocate an increased percentage of resources to achieving your mission.
