Does Your Nonprofit Need an Office?
Show Notes

Community IT CEO Johan Hammerstrom runs through the three highest priorities for nonprofits that want to work remotely and need the IT support to do that.

Community IT is seeing a huge increase in inquiries from nonprofits looking to downsize entirely and permanently from the expenses of an office that they no longer need. 

But without a physical office, do you need different IT support? The answer is yes, and luckily new tools and IT management processes allow entirely remote work force to be supported entirely remotely, nationally, no matter where you are working from. Our colleagues like to call this “flexible” work, because it can happen from home, from a coffee shop, while you are traveling, even back in a hybrid office at a borrowed desk. 


If you are considering going fully remote, or have gone remote but are worried about the implications of that on your IT, this podcast can help you get started assessing your new needs.

Key Takeaways:

  • Device management
    • Have you updated your Acceptable Use Policy lately? 
  • New telephony options
    • If you are already using Teams, for example, you can add on phone service licenses and keep all your calling in one place. 
  • Cybersecurity check-up
    • The attacks on identity and attempts to con you through spoofed emails, phishing attacks, and wire transfer fraud keep increasing. Is your staff still protected if they are all working remotely? Do you need extra, or different, cybersecurity protections? 
  • Can outsourced IT help remote workers as well as the in-person IT used to help keep the physical office running smoothly? Check out our 12 Questions to Ask Your Managed Services Provider download.
