Are finances tight for your organization?   Are your IT costs high?

Management Consulting Services (MCS) has developed a service for our
clients so they can take advantage of software hosted on the internet
at significant reductions in cost.  If you feel like your organization is spending too much on upgrading and maintaining servers and are worried about finding the money for your next upgrade, this solution is for your organization.

Why Move to the Cloud?

Our four-part seminar series helps to explain details of distributed computing.  Click here for more information.

Nonprofits are rapidly turning to online solutions for their technical needs, which is also known as "moving to the cloud."  The benefits are enormous.  Staff can access the organization's technology 24 X 7, so they can work from home or another site. IT costs are reduced, as the agency gives up on outdated servers which require high maintenance fees, allow limited software features, and are only accessible in the office. 

How Much Can Your Organization Save?

How can your organization transition to "cloud computing" from its current outdated and costly software?  MCS offers a low cost solution to help nonprofits move to the cloud, by implementing Google's Enterprise online software package, a comprehensive office application software package which is donated to nonprofits.  

Benefits of Google Enterprise

• Branded organizational email through Google's gmail.  The email has your organization's domain name, or a domain name of your choosing.
• Group calendaring through Google calendar.
• Office application software (documents, spreadsheets, and presentations) through Google Apps.
• Easy to build and use Intranets or other group websites.

What MCS Provides to Your Organization

The Cloud Computing Infrastructure package offered by MCS includes the following services for low cost:

• IT setup of domain and establish email accounts.
• User and administrator training on email, calendar and groupware, googledocs and administrator training through regular webinars.

Costs are based on the number of employees in your organization.  Prices range from $1,000 for small organizations of less than 10 employees to $5,000 for large organizations. 

Notes:

• You must be a 501c3 organization and meeting Google's requirements for donation of Google Enterprise to your organization.  
• Email migration from old email accounts is offered at an additional cost depending on number of accounts and amount of email to be moved. 
• Ongoing administration can generally be handled by non-IT staff.   However, if you require additional support beyond initial setup and trainings, hourly support rates of $60/hour apply.
