Computers and their technology have tremendous significance in today’s complex professional environments. With a click of the mouse, we can update and analyze our many databases, access statistical records and balance accounts. Computers save us valuable time which translates into the savings of thousands of dollars. Computers also improve our ability to communicate in real time, share critical information with our partners and improve the quality and delivery of our services.
The professional staff at Womanspace has been working on antiquated computers for a number of years; they lack sufficient speed and memory for our purposes. Because of the sophisticated software we utilize to track our donor database, maintain statistical information for critical reporting, design training and promotional materials, and preserve valuable documents, it is of utmost importance that our systems be completely reliable. On more than one occasion, the hard drive on these computers has crashed and required extensive and expensive re-programming. The fear is that important data could be lost on the next crash. New computer technology will eliminate bottlenecks and allow us to use our advanced software fully.
