Using technology
Hardware
There are many different places you can go to get hardware - computers, printers, monitors, etc. SCIP provides a equipment purchase service, offering discount rates and can be useful if you need a quote when applying for funding.
Software
- You can purchase very low-cost software directly through the Charity Technology Exchange where major manufacturers donate software to charities. Be careful what you choose, as this is a once every two-years offer For alternative discounts contact SCIP, or see the ICTKnowledgeBase list of charity software suppliers
IT Health Checks
Suppliers of technical support services may provide free IT health checks. You can see a list of Suppliers on the Suppliers Directory, which promotes suppliers recommended by third-sector organisations.
