IT Consultancy for a Development NGO
The Challenge
The NGO managed multiple projects and field teams, but its IT systems had grown in an unplanned way. Data was scattered across different devices and tools, making reporting slow and collaboration difficult.
Our Approach
Legacy Brain carried out an IT assessment covering:
- Existing hardware, software, and connectivity at offices and field sites.
- How staff currently stored, shared, and reported data.
- Security, backup, and access control practices.
We then facilitated discussions with management and staff to understand priorities and constraints before proposing changes.
The Solution
Our consultancy provided:
- A practical IT roadmap focused on data organization, communication, and basic security.
- Recommendations for standardizing tools (e.g., shared cloud workspace) and file structures.
- Guidance on simple backup routines and user access policies.
- Short training sessions for staff on the new tools and practices.
The Impact
The NGO gained clearer visibility of its data and improved the speed and consistency of reporting. Staff had fewer duplicate files and better ways to collaborate on documents.
The roadmap also helped management plan future IT investments in a more strategic way, aligning technology decisions with program goals.
