Hi there, I’m Aidan Forman, and I’m the Associate Director of IT at the Alzheimer’s Society. In terms of the challenges that I’m facing working in an environment that’s a registered charity, the challenges mainly center around budgets and having the budget available to do the task at hand, as well as working with a lot of legacy technology. Over the years, charities have been really focused on delivering against their missions and haven’t always had the money to spend on their IT.
The challenges have evolved, particularly as data, AI, and technology around us continue to move forward. Keeping pace with this technological advancement is quite a challenge for charities. It means we’re having to invest more and try to keep up to deliver the same efficiencies seen in more corporate worlds. However, we’re noticing a trend where people are now investing as much money in the charity space, and the industry is moving forward in line with our corporate partners.
For us personally, Microsoft is a key platform that we’re investing in. Transparity plays across all of those Microsoft technologies and in all the different work streams aligned to Microsoft’s capabilities. It’s really important for us to have a partner that understands Microsoft as a pure-play partner. We feel that Transparity is the right fit for us, allowing us to work together to ensure that you’re delivering against our goals and objectives.
