Managed IT services for non for profit organisations in Perth

Our team take pride in providing IT services and solutions that empower our not-for-profit customers in advancing their cause. In fact, Epic IT has been providing these Managed IT Services for Not-For-Profit organisations throughout Perth and WA since 2006.

We understand that managing IT for non-profits means including services such as regular IT strategy planning, annual budgeting, cyber security plus so much more. Delivered in a manner that not only respects the NFP industry but also the amazing people driving it.

In delivering non profit managed IT services, our team leverages charitable and philanthropic procurement channels to supply IT hardware, software and cloud-based solutions at a fraction of commercial prices.

Specialised IT support for non profits

Our non profit managed IT services are tailored to the industry, focusing on IT strategy, information security and user training.

Managed Cybersecurity

It is traditionally known that non-profit organizations have been limited to a lower IT budget and slower user adoption of technology than most commercial enterprises.

It is therefore little surprising to also know that many non-profit organisations are now targeted by cyber criminals. With the added responsibility for handling sensitive data such as personal and confidential information, NFP’s can be seen as sitting ducks for cyber attacks.

VCIO and IT Strategy Planning

A clear vision coupled with an effective IT strategy is a winning formula that will drive IT success for any non-profit organisation.

Via QBR’s (Quarterly Business Reviews) our team will ensure your technology road map is delivering cost effective IT services and solutions. Meaning as an NFP, your organisation will be equipped with the necessary leadership and supporting technology to not only drive your cause, but also make you very successful in doing so.

IT Training and Adoption

Slower adoption of technology can be attributed to many factors in a not-for-profit organisation. This could be due to the budget, culture or general demographic of the team.

The personable approach our team takes with NFP’s makes it less of a headache to bring in new technologies and solutions. Through previous deployments and contacts with NFP’s, our team has created a number of processes and training materials that we share with our non-profit members.

Our team offers on-site or remote training for everything from best practice training to new technology solutions that are being implemented. Remote sessions can also be viewed on demand, which is particularly helpful when working from home, which has become the norm for many NFP’s in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Productivity and Collaboration Tools

Since many non-profit organisations operate from several geographical locations, it is vital that IT brings all team members together into a secure and collaborative work space. Unfortunately, this is a common challenge for many NFP organisations we encounter.

With powerful but cost-effective document management, conference and collaborative platforms powered by Microsoft 365, our team has successfully bridged this collaborative gap and helped many of our Non-Profit customers achieve success.

Project Management and Delivery

When it comes to project management and delivery, we recognise the challenges in implementing successful projects for non-profit organisations. Limited resources, staff “buy in” and the low adoption of new technologies are just a few common challenges in delivering technology based projects to NFP’s.

Our IT project management teams have a refined approach to project delivery catered to non-profit organisations and implemented many successful IT projects for these customers.

IT helpdesk and Onsite Support

We understand that non-profit organisations contain many levels of IT users working within them. Our team is able to communicate effectively with all types of IT users, regardless of how advanced or limited their IT skills may be. Doing so delivers an exception level of IT Helpdesk and Onsite support.

Service reporting and Insights

We understand that working within a non-profit organisation can mean wearing many different hats at any time. However, you can easily be forgiven for losing tabs on how your employees work with your managed IT service provider or whether you get the right return on investment you have been sold.

Other questions may include: Are the current IT support levels for your NFP organisation appropriate to your needs? Are your staff’s requests promptly addressed? Are IT systems patched, updated and protected?

For many years, we have been delivering a very transparent managed IT support model to our non-profit partners, which makes some of these common NFP challenges seem effortless to overcome. Our service reports and insights will put you in the driver’s seat and give you a monthly snapshot of your IT service and systems, which consists of IT asset health, service ticket trends, and even staff feedback on our services, to name a few.

We have created a very transparent and accountable managed IT system that collects critical information that is made available to you with a single click.

Not-For-Profit Procurement

Epic IT’s footprint and industry knowledge allows us to offer our non-profit partners a unique NFP procurement experience.

Our account management teams have direct access to Microsoft Gold partner resources, which allows us to offer philanthropic cloud-based services and power up technology to many Perth-based nonprofit organisations. Our team makes it easy to enable these game-changing technologies at a fraction of the normal cost. We are also able to use specialised refurbished or donated hardware / software that is exclusively offered to Perth Not-For-Profit organisations.

We appreciate that budgets are often tight and that many expenditures are financed by grants, which means that they must be well designed with future thinking in mind. We do exactly this when designing an enterprise-level IT system with a limited budget that will last a complete three to four-year procurement cycle.

Data Protection and Business Continuity

Secure data protection, the retention of information due to compliance and continuity of business is crucial for any non-profit organisation. Any loss of data or disruption to the organisation can have a direct impact on someone’s life by not receiving health, counselling or humanitarian assistance.

Unfortunately, in most cases, unreliable technology and inadequate security can be the cause. We are a certified Gold Microsoft Cloud Solutions provider in that we have designed and deployed many secure and highly available cloud systems that require little or no maintenance to ensure that they deliver business continuity to your organisation.

Through our managed IT services, we constantly monitor your security, data protection and uptime to protect you not only from external threats, but also from accidental, malicious, internal threats that you may not know.
