Winrock upgrades its Email systems with BiGTech donations

"As an NGO, it was very expensive for us to buy licensed software and licenses at market rate. With the help of BiGTech’s software donation program support, now we have the licenses of windows software’s and the new version also" says President of Winrock International India, Dr. Kinsuk Mitra.

How the donation helped Give India

Besides saving on the costs, the donation helped us to increase capacity and capability & helped us to save on time & to perform with speed. Small changes have helped to improve our performances & contribute to the overall productivity. We were able to increase the team strength & internally help more functioning of web. There has been a phenomenal increase in managing time, performing tasks efficiently & in maximising the performances. Quote from Umesh Nayak VP Operations

How the donation helped Sanghamithra Rural Financial Services

"We were incurring a lot of expenditure for purchasing software prior to 2008. Bigtech has helped us to save this money which can be used for giving assistance to the needy. Thanks to the generous donation, we could switch on to entirely computerised environment and expanded enough to handle our ever growing operational database size". Quote from CEO Mr. R. Gadiyappanavar

 

How the donation helped Xavier's Resource Centre for the Visually Challenged

Before receiving donations we had purchased software from the market with a time consuming process of procurement and spending our hard earned donations on it. 

By using latest technology we have setup automatic backups and also system images are taken which has reduced our manual back up work and given easy system restoration of PCs.  Use of Office 2010 as an office application has helped us in improving office correspondences and updation in training modules. 

It helped us as well as our members/blind students in exploring and usage of latest windows and office software.
