New Tools For Nonprofits

Microsoft has two new tools out, one which appears to have similar functionality to Evite, but with an emphasis on what happened after the event (pictures, blogs, and so on) as well as a home server software package.

The planning service is called Windows Live Events, and it will allow you to use a series of templates (again, like Evite) to modify the way the event looks and so on. The major difference appears to be that the organizer can also create a website post event to maintain those pictures notes and so on.

The Home Server software has also been released to retailers. The NPower team hasn’t had the opportunity to review this new tool - but many of the promised features might make this an attractive tool for nonprofit who are just getting started. Features include a daily backup, file sharing to others in your network, PC health monitoring tools, and more.

I’m always delighted to see new tools being offered - and can’t wait to see if the nonprofit sector can leverage either or both of these to deliver on their mission!
