It should come as no surprise. The buzz about Web 2.0 tools and software-as-a-service (SaaS) has been caught and non-profits are adopting them. That's the gist of the recent article in
IT BusinessIn fact, there are a lot of ready-to-use software-as-a-service (SaaS) products on the market to meet the needs of a non-profit. Online donation tools for example are great for organizations that don't want to deal with setting up their website and server.
One great advantage of software-as-a-service (SaaS) (Wild Apricot being an example of such a service) is that they deliver ease and affordability online to non-profits. They help organizations in their quest to create a web site, register participants, increase attendance to events and run more efficiently.
Another reason these tools are a good fit is because they allow employees and volunteers alike to use them from home or office and spares the often volunteer-staffed organizations the work of installing and upgrading software packages.
