Some funders and IT consultants claim that there is still a significant organizational gap when it comes to basic IT infrastructure. Such a story was true in the late nineties and into this decade, but it is a declining issue as a result of the amount of cheap or freely available software for nonprofits.

Much of this free software exists as software as a service on the web. The fact that the software is hosted on a website means that most of the processing for the software is happening on someone else's machine. This extends the life of your old computers since you don't need to upgrade to incorporate new software (unless you've made the mistake of upgrading to Windows VISTA).

MCS conducted several surveys of our customers this past year, both of the executive leadership groups and an internet survey of non-profit leadership, in an effort to find out how we were doing, and also to find out what services our customers would like to see offered. We have the results from 13 executives who have been in our Leadership Groups, and 82 respondents to our internet survey. Here is what we learned from you.

Responses from leaders were received from a wide range of organizations, in size, number of employees and volunteers, and in types of organizations.
