GEC NEWS WIREMicrosoft Gulf Philanthropies team invited regional non-profit organisations to participate in a series of Dubai-based workshops that will impart valuable tips and tricks on how to get the best out of Microsoft solutions. It is hoped that new-found knowledge of Windows and Office 365 will free up non-profit volunteers and employees to take technology further, and achieve more.
Microsoft has collaborated with renowned technology mentor Vickie Sokol Evans, to create a programme that will enthral and inspire. The company is confident that trainees will depart with a greater understanding of the potential of technology. Each session will be held at Microsoft’s Dubai Internet City office and will also be simulcast via webinar. The first seminar will take place on 31 January, 2017, from 2.30pm to 5pm.
“Microsoft’s non-profit software donations programme can help connect NGOs with the cloud, Office, business intelligence tools and more. These workshops will equip them with the knowledge to take those technologies further, and achieve more,” said Tanya Rudd, Philanthropy Lead, Microsoft Gulf. “Productivity is all about the reallocation of time from repetitive tasks to value-adding tasks. Vickie cuts to the chase with every product, showing users only the hyper-useful features they never knew existed. Those tips have translated into tangible, real-world gains for many organisations. After these sessions, Gulf-based non-profits will be masters of their technology, and will be better able to get back to what they do best – making lives better,” added Rudd.
