Common NFP Challenges

We've helped NFPs across Australia address these common technology challenges.

Outgrown Basic Tools

The problem: You started with free Gmail or basic Microsoft accounts. Now you have staff, volunteers, and sensitive data that needs proper management.

Our solution: Migration to Microsoft 365 NFP with proper identity management, security, and collaboration tools—at NFP pricing.

Document Chaos

The problem: Files everywhere—personal drives, email attachments, USB sticks. Nobody can find anything, and version control is non-existent.

Our solution: SharePoint and OneDrive with sensible structure, clear ownership, and practical governance.

Security Concerns

The problem: You hold sensitive information about vulnerable people. You know you should do more, but don't know where to start.

Our solution: Essential security controls appropriate for NFP risk profiles. MFA, basic policies, and data protection.

Manual Processes

The problem: Staff spend hours on data entry, chasing approvals, generating reports manually. Time that should go to mission delivery.

Our solution: Power Automate workflows that eliminate repetitive tasks. Forms and reports that work automatically.

Board Reporting

The problem: Board wants visibility into operations, but generating reports is time-consuming. Data lives in spreadsheets.

Our solution: Power BI dashboards that pull from your systems and update automatically.

Volunteer Management

The problem: Volunteers need access to some systems but not others. Onboarding and offboarding is manual and inconsistent.

Our solution: Guest access configurations in Microsoft 365 with structured processes and clear access boundaries.
