Welcome to the Smartdesc December newsletter. We are NCVO-approved IT experts specialising in the charity sector, enabling nonprofits to achieve more with technology and modern ways of working.
This month we focus on how charities can simplify and consolidate their IT infrastructure, reduce costs and use technology to enable better hybrid working. We recently migrated the national charity Mind to a fully cloud-based technology solution, resulting in better collaboration and a secure, future-proofed IT estate. You can read the full case study here.
