IT on a budget
It doesn't matter if it's recession or not, but if a PC fails or a website needs updating they have to be replaced or fixed as soon as possible. If you don't have the tools to do your job, then the rest of your work suffers.
We'll be building this page up to be a resource to free, cheap and/or essential tools to help your organisation to make your use of IT more efficiently, and not just keep it running but make it better and more sustainable in the long run.
- Website Toolkit - try out some e-learning and develop your website knowhow on the Voscur Moodle - feedback and help us make this resource better
- Free Survey tools - find out what your service users need, collate the data automatically and use the information to target your work - see our overview of the available services
- Social Media - Work Smart/er
- Use Software and Hardware donations & Discounts - CTX & Pugh
- Use Free software alternatives - OpenOffice & Ubuntu
- Buy refurbished office PCs from Voscur members Bristol Wireless & Byteback Computer Recycling
- Use an IT Volunteer - try out COMIT managed by Voscur and University of the West of England or IT4Communities
Got any more suggestions or questions, tell us about them in the forums and we'll feature the best of them here for everyone's benefit.
