Case Study: Robin Hood Foundation achieves streamlined grant management and cost savings with Equinix EPS Cloud

Robin Hood - Customer Case Study

Robin Hood Foundation, New York’s largest poverty-fighting nonprofit with over $11 billion raised since 1988, needed a more user-friendly, collaborative platform to speed grant analysis and management, improve data collection, and better support grant distribution decisions while lowering costs and the learning curve for staff and partners.

Equinix Professional Services for Cloud built a cloud-based .NET solution on Microsoft Azure—the Grants Business Intelligence and Statistics Portal (GBSIP)—that lets program officers easily share reports and qualitative insights and uses MS SQL Server Analysis Services for advanced data mining. The new platform simplified grant management, reduced administrative costs, lowered the learning curve, and provided scalable cloud resources to support better, faster decision making.
