The Nonprofit Cloud Computing Summit in San Francisco

Submitted by Brett on Thu, 07/28/2011 - 3:16pm

For several years, NTEN has led the field in calling for nonprofits to minimize time sent on mundane tasks like server maintenance, instead focusing resources on technology that will actually serve their missions. One of the greatest tools at our disposal to accomplish this is the Cloud.

Following the success of our 5-part webinar series, "Nonprofits & Cloud Computing: A Guide to Navigating the Nonprofit Cloud", we're excited to announce a one-day workshop, taking place in San Francisco, where you'll gain the knowledge you need to analyze whether a transition to the Cloud makes sense for your organization – from both a management and a technical perspective. Thanks to the generous support of Google, we're able to bring this program to you for free!

The Cloud Summit will:

  • Teach you how to distinguish hype vs. reality
  • Walk you through specific Cloud solutions for everyday applications, like email and office productivity
  • Help you assess the costs of migrating to a Cloud computing solution, including how to do an apple-to-apples comparison with your existing systems
  • Highlight the potential risks of Cloud computing, as well as some risk-management techniques
  • And take a look at the human side of the Cloud – staff training and technology adoption

Cloud computing opens the opportunity for your organization to shift from using technology exclusively in the back office to using IT as a strategic part of your work. We hope you'll be able to join us.
