Microsoft unveils plans for non-profit organisations
Businesses using Microsoft products as part of their cloud services could be interested in a recent announcement from the company.
Yesterday (July 27th) the IT giant unveiled intentions to alter its software donation programme in order to make it easier for charitable organisations to access expensive technology.
The initiative, which is available in 100 countries across the world, is set to allow companies to apply for up to ten products to assist operations as part of the new plans.
In addition, three new types of non-profit organisations have been invited to apply for the software donation programme - recreational groups, amateur sports teams and private foundations.
Akhtar Badshah, senior director of global community affairs at Microsoft, said: "Making technology more accessible enables nonprofits to increase their productivity, reach more people and deliver new, improved services that directly help local communities."
Earlier this month, the IT company reported an eight per cent increase in revenue for the first quarter of 2011, totaling at $17.37 billion (£10.6 billion).
