Case Study: National Development Council achieves 80% lower IT costs with Microsoft Corporation

How the National Development Council aids underserved communities

The National Development Council, a U.S.-based nonprofit serving underserved communities, needed a more efficient way to support a growing, distributed workforce while keeping IT costs under control. Its older remote desktop and managed Exchange setup was costly and difficult to manage, and the organization turned to Microsoft Corporation for help, using products such as Office 365, Azure, and Windows 10.

Microsoft Corporation helped the National Development Council move key services to the cloud, including Exchange Online, SharePoint, and Skype for Business, simplifying collaboration and improving security and compliance. The result was an 80% reduction in IT costs, stronger internal communications, and a more scalable technology foundation that supports continued growth and partner engagement.
