Welcome to the Smartdesc August newsletter. This month, we share how nonprofits are solving technology resourcing issues with a co-managed approach to IT, including a video case study from WaterAid setting out how they achieved it. Also don’t miss our free charity IT community events – webinars on Subject Access Requests and Microsoft Copilot for 365, and a roundtable on cyber security.
