Telecommunications and Non-Profit Organizations

Straight Talk About Telecommunications for Your Organization

Don't know your VoIP from your POTS or even what these acronyms mean? Scratching your head on all the phone system options out there? Then this event is for you. Join us Thursday February 18 at 11 a.m. Pacific for an informative webinar: https://cc.readytalk.com/r/olmm28g4r3sf and forums event : http://www.techsoup.org/go/telecom to help you avoid the buzz-word marketing and get the real picture on telecommunications.

We'll be joined by telecommunications expert and longtime TechSoup star and forums moderator, Chris Shipley of Nutmeg IT and Kevin Lo, Lead Technology Analyst for TechSoup Global.

Our hosts will address the various voice communication options (VoIP, PBX hardware, voicemail) available and how these differ. We'll explore the pros and cons of different solutions, cost considerations, and examine what kinds of organizations would best benefit from different systems.

This live webinar kicks off the official launch of TechSoup's new Telecommunications discussion forum: http://www.techsoup.org/go/telecom.  After the webinar, our hosts will continue the conversation in the asynchronous (not live) forums event. We've gotten the conversation rolling with topics like how telecommunications is changing nonprofit work, Google Voice, and what VoIP services organizations are using.
