testimonial
"I joined CIO/ARTS last year and it has made my job a lot easier and helped me save money for my organization.
At the April 08 Conference, Darren from the Broward Center showed us Spiceworks,an easy and free IT management tool. As a result, we deployed Spiceworks at the Philharmonic. It helps my team be proactive and it cut my recent audit discovery in half. On a recent listserv post, Alan from the Kennedy Center told us about the 66% discount Google gives to nonprofits for email filtering and archiving. It's nice to have access to such a smart group of people."
