Case study: Cloud-based systems from Microsoft help a local nonprofit stay nimble

Phinney Neighborhood Association (PNA) is a valuable resource to the residents in and around Phinney, Greenwood, and Ballard, providing a myriad of programs and services aimed to connect and educate people from all walks of life. Unfortunately, their technology was out of date, limiting their productivity. Storage limits on their old server meant that they were often faced with the necessity to go through “emergency” deletions of old files in order to accommodate new ones. Luckily, a skilled volunteer was able to conduct a thorough technology assessment, and with buy in from leadership, PNA turned to NPower to implement the necessary upgrades.

Utilizing Microsoft’s Business Productivity Online Standard Suite (BPOS), NPower migrated many of PNA’s systems to the cloud, meaning their storage concerns were wiped away and staff had the flexibility to work from anywhere. Our team also replaced their server and workstations, increasing the efficiency of their entire system. Read more about the work we’ve done for PNA and how services and support from NPower have impacted the organization in our full case study.
