IT Survey of Community/Voluntary Organisations & Small Enterprises

Our Lady of Lourdes Community Services Group is conducting research into the IT needs of community and voluntary organisations and small enterprises in Limerick. This is to determine the viability and structure of a community enterprise providing IT services to the sector.

As part of this study, all community and voluntary organisations are invited to complete a questionnaire about their current and future IT requirements. The data gathered will be used to establish the types of services needed and to determine how best to deliver low-cost solutions to meet these needs. All responses will be treated confidentially and individual responses will not be published.

The questionnaire is available online at http://tinyurl.com/516hut. It can be completed by the person responsible for ITin an organisation or if this is not possible by someone who is working/volunteering with the organisation.

All not-for-profit organisations (including schools, sports clubs, etc.) as well as community/small enterprises are invited to complete the questionnaire. This will help to establish the breadth of the market for low-cost IT service delivery in Limerick.

This research will also feed into the development of the Community ICT strategy for Limerick City.

Please take the time to fill in the questionnaire, and to tell others about it. This will help Our Lady of Lourdes Community Services Group to help you and other organisations meet their IT needs.
