EReadiness:Technology Infrastructure

From NGOPedia

Many technology gurus promote the adoption of computer technology for its own sake. We strongly believe that the technology is merely a means to an end. Initially the technology is an enabler for more efficient and more effective business processes. Later it can open your organisation to new possibilities and opportunities which would be impossible without this technology. However, this does not downplay the need to first evaluate your technology infrastructure: without having sound technology in place, you will not be able to reap the possible computerisation benefits.

The three technology infrastructural aspects that we consider essential are:

• The availability of computers in your organisation
• The degree to which these computers are linked together within the organisation (the computer ‘network’)
• The organisation’s electronic link to the outside world, more specifically the internet
