Charities face complex communications challenges in order to meet the needs of their service users, according to technology provider Dynamic Edge. The Aberdeen-based business specialises in assisting charities and third sector organisations manage their IT and communications requirements effectively – from software discounts to procedures for information security and disaster recovery.
David McCready, technical business manager at Dynamic Edge, is well aware of the IT challenges facing the sector, having previously worked at VSA, formerly Voluntary Service Aberdeen, for nine years.
He said: “The north-east’s charitable sector varies hugely from large, professional organisations to smaller outfits that don’t necessarily have the required infrastructure, processes and procedures in place. Often, people don’t necessarily realise the complexities involved in the day-to-day running of a successful charitable organisation. Regardless of budget and available resources, they all share the same need to communicate quickly and effectively with key stakeholders.
