Why NGOs / NPOs should hire an independent IT Consultant

Running an NGO (non-governmental organisation) or an NPO (non-profit organisation) is not a piece of cake. It requires much more than just a good intent. You need a sound networking, proper management, hundreds of volunteers and so on. But above all, you need a constant flow of funds, a systematic strategy, and trust of the people to run it successfully.

But how would you ensure all these? How would you make people donate for the causes you believe in? How would you make them feel the way you feel about underprivileged and needy? How would you win the trust of complete strangers and turn them into the potential donors?

Trust seems to be one of the key causes why NGOs are facing the fund crisis these days? Some people do have big hearts and wants to contribute their bit to the society. But, the problem they face is trust. There are lakhs of NGOs operating in every corner and spam in the name of social welfare is quite common. In such a scenario, it is difficult to trust any organization. But the victims are those doing everything possible to help the needy.

So what can we do to fight the situation and win over the trust? Well, many things. Trust is something that can't be bought but to win. And to win that, you need to show them your work. You need to make things transparent. You need to make communication effective, and put your thoughts in a way that attracts attention.

We believe in what you believe and hence we can make it work together. Here’s how!

Today, it is very important to remain in people’s mind to run any business or organisation successfully. This is the reason, even multinational companies runs several campaigns, activities and ads all the time. Well, they have established themselves with the time and effort. But, making an impression on someone's mind isn't easy?

You see thousands of things here and there; scroll through social media all the time -  but how many things actually make an impact? How many things you actually remember once it is out of sight? A very few, right?

Well, the competitions are really high. And if you want to be counted among that very few, you need to choose the most dedicated yet affordable IT consultant for your NGOs / NPOs. A consultant who understands your needs, your causes and spend time on the project analyzing it to fetch the practical solutions. Someone who handles it from the top to bottom and has expertise in the industry.

Here are some of the more reasons on why NGOs / NPOs should hire an independent IT Consultant:

Personalized service: Taking service of an IT consultant looks more sorted than hiring an entire IT team for the job. The reason is that the IT consultants are known for giving personalized service. It's like paying for what you get and getting what you actually want. The  IT team comes with lots of other hassles, but consultants are task-oriented. Besides, with the customized service, the results would also be quick and evident.

Goal-oriented: Unlike service providers or an IT team, the IT consultant will analyse your specific need, the organisation’s performance, the core issue and then will come up with a customized solution. IT consultants are goal oriented. So, you give them a task and they will do it. No additional hassles come with that.

Cost-effective: Hiring an IT team is a whole lot of task and quite a money draining for NGOs/ NPOs. While it is okay to have such team if you are running a large organisation and want your printers and computers to be fixed immediately, NGOs/ NPOs have different goals. They need a customized service as per their goal to achieve the desired result.

Plus managing the paycheck and other perks of the team is also quite expensive for such organisations. Here, an IT Consultant can be a savior. They charge for the specific service and bring you the  best result in a fixed amount of time frame.

Focus on core business: Small organisations usually lack resources and training to deal with technical issues whenever they pop up. Hence hiring an IT consultant will enable you to focus on matters related to the well-being of the organisation. Since, it will be the responsibility of the IT consultant to determine the source of error and come up with the solution.

Access to talent: Hiring an IT Consultant will enable you to tap into their specialized working skills obtained through years of experience. Hiring dedicated consultants will facilitate executions of cost-effective IT strategies, quality assurance and permanent solution. This will not only save on time and money, but also enable you to focus towards improved production.
