The Restorative Justice and Violence Interruption app is literally at the crossroads of technology and saving people's lives. This application allows their interventionists out in the field to enter case information right in the field where they are working with people and get that information quickly organized, sorted, and reported while ensuring security over the sensitive information they collect. It is a great example of how cloud migration and optimization can help nonprofit organizations deliver their missions and do more with less.

We were really pleased Microsoft selected Valorem Reply to do the application development work. Steve and the Valorem Reply team were professional and great to work with. The team kept the project on schedule, and we were able to complete the development phase in three months. We also made sure that our street team was involved in the project at every step of the process. That's including the application design, requirements, development, testing, and we made sure that they were trained extensively on the application.

When it came time for modernization, The Salvation and Social Justice leadership understood the importance of not only building for the future, but also limiting the amount of churn and maybe wasted spend on ad hoc solutions that could only get them so far. Their investment will not only enable to take advantage of the scale and agility of the cloud but also more easily right size and deploy more resources to further their mission and impact in their community.

My advice to non-profit organizations is to use technology to work smarter rather than harder. Automate as much as you can versus using a lot of manual processes. Technology can help improve transparency, which is important because we exist for the purpose of helping communities and these communities want to know as much as possible about the work that we're doing. Technology enhances efficiency that can have a direct impact on how much our work in non-profit can achieve, considering the limited resources that we usually have. I highly recommend that non-profit leadership teams build a technology foundation and focus on building long-term solutions.
