There is a wealth of information on the internet to help you and you staff with ICT planning. And now some of that has been bought together under the iTaNGO Knowledgebase. Plans, policies, templates for ICT planning can be found at www.iTaNGO.infoxchange.net.au  Further there are many applications available as web services that can assist with collaboration, data management and reporting and don't require you to make an investment up front. While free products and services make it possible for nonprofits to lower the risk of trying new technology, in the long run you'll have to pay to have precisely the right tools for supporting your mission.
As long as you thoroughly understand your organization's overall mission, strategy, and tactics and are willing to learn a little bit about the technology, you can keep your information technology plan on target.
If they're not they need to be. ICT planning is as important as business and financial planning. Maybe you should ensure that one of the positions on your board or committee is reserved for someone with ICT expertise. Your board or committee should also have an ICT committee that meets and reports regularly to the board or committee.
You need to formalise a staff ICT committee or working group and make sure that you meet regularly to give input to the senior management on strategic ICT issues. The committee should include a cross-section of staff - administration and finance, programmatic, secretarial. This should not just be a committee comprising the technically capable as you need to get you entire staff comfortable and up to speed with the technology issues in your organisation.
Ensuring those staff who are always around are well trained and understand the ICT can be one of your best investments. These are the staff members who are more likely to be there when problems arise and to know about the technical abilities (and phobias) of their colleagues.

There are many quality social media services that you can subscribe too that will come directly to your desktop, laptop or mobile devise. You don ât have to yourself be a tweeter or regular facebooker or blogger you can follow those in the know and make your own call about what could be good for your organizing. And if this does not appeal make a habit of reading the IT section of the newspapers as this will give you general information on what is going on with technology. And finally subscribe to the iTaNGO news services. (Don't worry if it seems over your head at first - you'll catch on! Everybody has to start somewhere.) And remember the delete key can be your best friend
It will, however, enable you to work more effectively. You will probably be able to do more work, of higher quality, with fewer person-hours. And this is pretty cute coming from the person who 24 years ago promoted electronic communication as being our savior.
The cost in person hours of using and maintaining non-standard or sub-standard configurations is astonishingly high, and donated equipment does not allow you to get consistency in your IT infrastructure. Similarly, donated or voluntary services maybe great while they last but what when the person has another priority? Beware of the database building or web site design services volunteered by a well intentioned friend of a member of the board! You may end up with something you can't use, can ât support or maintain.
Is it a CEO who is resistant to technical innovations? A board of directors that hesitates to make the commitment to raise the money need for the IT infrastructure? Line staff who are already stressed and overworked, and can't stop to learn and implement new technologies? An inability to make outsourced IT consultants or in-house IT staff understand organisational processes? All the information technology in the world won't resolve these issues, if you don't address them at the organisational level. Â
If you don ât have good handle on your ICT budget it would probably surprise you that the tangible things â hardware, software and networks are not your main cost with ICT. The cost is having workers without adequate training to be able to use the technology. Mind you getting you staff trained will probably cost more than the tangible things as well. In the long run, IT training and support can account for more than 70% of your IT budget. However this is great investment and will deliver quality service outcomes. This is in some ways counter-intuitive fact of nonprofit life. The more visible IT assets, computers etc are not necessarily the biggest budget items. Â Moreover, the cost of downtime for staff members who cannot work because obsolete equipment has crashed is high for many nonprofits. Â In addition, the cost of good training for staff members is considerable, and yet the cost of wasted staff time due to lack of training is higher.
Two (2) of the 120 CSOs audited were working to an effective ICT development plan. 84% of organisations audited reported that they had no ICT development plan. 71% of metropolitan CSOs audited and 39% of regional CSOs had included ICT in their annual budgets. The average CSO budget for ICT was $6,392 per annum. âą Training
