NP Times Technobuzz today mentioned a list of Top 10 Nonprofit Technology issues released by Randy Johnston from K2 Enterprises:
- Lack of consistent, firm-wide procedures.
- Compliance issues.
- Insufficient training.
- Incorrect cabling.
- Power problems.
- Improper use of scanners.
- Too little memory in servers and work stations.
- Not balancing server and work station purchases.
- Incorrectly configured firewalls or wireless access points.
- Incorrect licensing.
These issues sound familiar to you? As an IT director, I’ve had to deal with all these issues except oddly enough “improper use of scanners”. I cringe at the thought of people using scanners to take impromptu “medical” pictures of various parts of their anatomy. It could also be that people are digitizing documents using a scanner instead of using a Word to PDF mechanism. Also, what are “compliance issues”? HIPAA compliance or something else?
Are you seeing these issues at nonprofits that you help with?
