Discounted software for charities and non-profits

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010 @ 3:43pm

We have been working with a few charities in the Yorkshire area and I have to say I am shocked to find they don’t know about the discounts on offer when buying software and services!  Have a look at this website:

http://www.ctxchange.org/

Most registered charities and certain non-profit organisations qualify for heavily discounted software from quite a number of providers so I wanted to share the discounts that are available.  I have picked out a few choice packages from their price list and compared them to the standard pricing on the internet from a typical supplier.

Product	Retail Price	Discounted Price	% Saving
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (32 or 64bit)	£ 158.62	£ 5.88	96%
Microsoft Office Professional 2007	£ 269.60	£ 12.93	95%
Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 Premium Edition	£ 1,101.22	£ 45.83	96%
Symantec Endpoint Protection (10 licenses)	£ 291.38	£ 43.48	85%
Cisco 520 Wireless Router for ADSL	£ 437.09	£ 58.75	87%

All the prices include VAT as IT supplies and services still attract VAT even for charities  But what fantastic savings!

So if you are a charity looking to invest in technology to help you raise money and connect with your donors and clients use this service and save yourself a pile of money!  If you want some help gathering your thoughts contact us.
