Commmunity IT Academy

“As we are a small organisation of limited means, it has been of great benefit for us to have the support of CITA to help us rationalise our IT set up. Our new file server has helped to centralise our file storage and minimise the risk of data loss through a regular backup regime. The new desktop machine is a real boon as it is more modern and faster than the old second-hand machines we were relying on.

As well as reducing our IT costs, the use of Open Source Software fits comfortably with our ethics as a charity - it is software developed in a collaborative fashion for the benefit of everyone. It also has several practical benefits - the most noticeable being the hugely reduced threat of virus and spyware infection."
