Power2GiveCTS Consulting

Project Objectives

Mitigate Risk by reviewing the current code to determine feasibility of a responsive design implementation

Power2give needs a mobile enabled platform. To achieve this, they first need:to assess whether the currently designed platform has the technical capabilities to accommodate a responsive design (be mobile-optimized)• If it can be mobile optimized in its current platform format, what kind of hours will need

to be involved (and cost)• If not, they will need to begin a plan to fund the total re-design of their platform to

accommodate mobile donations and engagement

Reduce costs by allowing P2G to understand the technical options available to them to achieve a responsive design without initiating a direction first

Project Overview

The ProblemGirl Scouts Hornets’ Nest Council (GSHN) has identified that their infrastructure is cumbersome and causing internal operational difficulties. GSHN is lacking technology strategic and planning insights. It was identified that a technology and business assessment could help GSHN translate technology needs and direction to the Board so that the organization can move beyond reactionary technology to strategic technology use.
