Make a
Difference - Join Us at Digital Ball
2009! |
|
Our
mission is to connect the resources of the tech community with the
needs of the nonprofit community. TechBridge provides a unique means
for Atlanta corporations like you to give back in a way in which
only you can - through financial contributions and by donating time
and IT expertise. Can you imagine how much time a nonprofit could
save by being able to actually see each other's calendars and
schedule meetings? THAT's the difference we're making at nonprofits
- and now they're fighting harder for each dollar they receive, it's
more important than ever that we help them to use that donation more
efficiently. That means more time spent on their mission, which
means a better community for all of us. We would love to talk with
you about how you can get involved in making a difference on that
scale.
Identified by previous
attendees as 'the technology business event to attend', TechBridge
is still accepting sponsorships for its ninth annual Digital
Ball. Soon to be a sold out event, sign up NOW to avoid disappointment!
Click here to download a Digital Ball
brochure.
The
TechBridge Digital Ball, presented by Accenture, is the
signature fundraising gala that brings together Atlanta's
technology, business and nonprofit leaders for an evening of dinner,
dancing and visually stunning performances. Remember, one donation
to the Digital Ball supports the technology services and
solutions TechBridge provides throughout the year to hundreds
of nonprofits!

TechBridge is the
Ticket!
 |
Atlanta's
Theater of the Stars (TOTS) is a nonprofit dedicated to presenting
and producing the best in musical theater and has called the Fox
Theatre home for the past 20 years. Since 1953, TOTS has presented
and produced 700+ productions in Atlanta, across the country, and
around the world. |
|
TOTS
executives wanted to centralize its ticketing process; employ a
robust customer relationship management solution to develop its
subscriber base; and expand its current Microsoft Exchange Services
to include remote access to e-mail and other important online
processes. TOTS turned to TechBridge to serve as its technology
partner. "After meeting with TechBridge representatives, we knew
they understood our unique business requirements since they are also
a nonprofit" said Grant Anderson, CFO, Theater of the
Stars.
TechBridge recommended a comprehensive plan for an
overall technology upgrade and a hosted environment for the new
application and e-mail services - all a reasonable price without
sacrificing security and reliability. TOTS transitioned to
TechBridge's Hosted Exchange environment enabling it to access
e-mail from any place with an Internet connection. To implement the
new ticketing solution, TechBridge worked with Ticketmaster, the Fox
Theatre and Cbeyond to ensure a seamless transition and meet strict
security guidelines.
"Now, we can track more timely financial information, sales,
subscriber history and preferences" said Anderson. "TechBridge
brought us into the 21st century."
