What’s holding you back? We can help
Our mission is to help you understand your technical challenges and deliver digital solutions to maximise the impact your organisation can have. We connect you with top tech talent who can help.
The value of digital
Automate manual and repetitive processes
Technology represents one of the few ways you can make the most of your scarce resources. Our volunteers will work with you to understand the problems and challenges you face daily and the many ways in which technology can help you deliver your services most efficiently. Examples include:
Streamline data flows and maximise integrations between systems
Make the best use of the systems you already have
Identify and implement new solutions, including AI, so you can grow
Any project will need your time and attention. We need you to:
Work with us to help understand the problem
Be clear about the difference a solution would make to you and how you will measure it
Attend regular meetings to ensure the volunteers can progress the work with you
Be responsive to requests for information
Test the solution once it has been delivered
Implement it effectively within your organisation
What we need from you
Everything we do is free of charge
If you get tech help from us, there are no costs to you for delivery of the project. If there are ongoing costs to run the solution, such as software licenses, you will be responsible for them but we’ll make it clear up front what those are likely to be.
As the work is being delivered on a pro bono basis we are not able to offer any warranties.
Our projects are delivered by volunteers, so they may take longer than a service that you pay for. However, part of the process of defining a project with you will be to agree realistic timescales for its delivery.
