1. The webinar covered several technology trends for nonprofits and libraries in 2019, including the decline of Facebook for fundraising, a focus on mobile communications and cloud computing, and demands for improved security, privacy and identity management.
2. Key topics were the need to transition essential IT services like email and file storage to the cloud, challenges in reaching millennial donors, and how assistive technologies are becoming more available and useful.
3. Emerging technologies like voice computing and blockchain were identified as not being a major concern for most nonprofits in 2019, who should focus on cloud migration, cybersecurity, and mobile strategies.

12. Acceleration of Cloud
Computing
• 2019 is a critical year to transition essential IT
to the cloud: Office apps, email, databases
and document storage and recovery.
• On premises software donations are
diminishing.
• Free cloud services: Google for Nonprofits
and Microsoft Cloud
• Having cloud services requires different
budgeting, and professional help with
migrations.
• Critical service is back-up and restore. This is
excellent insurance against data loss due to
cybercrime. Have a look at PC Magazine’s
Best Online Backup Services for 2019.
