In 2012, Fundacja TechSoup, in partnership with TechSoup Global, conducted a survey of non-profits, charities, NGOs and social benefit organizations around the world to better understand the current state of their technology infrastructure, plus their future plans for adopting cloud technologies.
With more than 10.500 respondents in 88 countries, we’re pleased to add this data to our ever-evolving resources for NGOs, libraries, and those who support them.
NGOs are using the Cloud. 90% of respondents worldwide indicated using some type of cloud technology, from “light” services like email and social networking to “heavy” services like databases and web conferencing.
There are barriers. Our survey found that a lack of knowledge is the biggest barrier to additional cloud adoption, cited by 86% of the global respondents. The lack of knowledge was consistently cited as a barrier across geographies and organization sizes.
We also found that:
In the report, we broke down what cloud applications organizations are currently using and plan to use in the future, on a global and regional level. If you’re wondering if your fellow organizations are using cloud-based tools like office and accounting programs, and collaboration software, our report has the answers.
And more!
Find out about our key findings. Learn about the current state of cloud computing at NGOs and libraries around the world, what these organizations see as the challenges and advantages of cloud technology, and how your own organization’s technology stacks up.
We had three objectives in mind when we conducted this survey:
In short, our hope is that understanding nonprofits’ perspective on the cloud will not only provide insights for NGOs but will also help the TechSoup Global Network, and others better support the NGOs in making informed decisions about whether cloud solutions are right for them.
