Many nonprofit organizations have a size surpassing the size of the average company. With globalization, many are organized across borders and even globally and have all the communication needs a for-profit organization has.

Many non-profits and NGOs have employees and volunteers working around the world, crossing borders whenever necessary to bring assistance. They need to manage and automatically update administration for compliance and make expenses easy for users to file, while reducing the administrative burden for approvers to manually adjust per diems based on location. At the end of the day, many non-profits operate worldwide and require truly global expense management solutions.

Yet they typically don’t have the resources to organize centralized purchasing of their technology and telecom inventory and services.

When their staff is sometimes largely established out of volunteers that spend part of their time for the organization, making a distinction between what expenses should be charged to the nonprofit organization and what expenses should be personal is a permanent management issue.

Services are sometimes bought against consumer rates or worse, exposing organizations to much higher than average communication expenses.

The web based nature of Technology Expense Management software now allows nonprofit organizations to introduce a centralized management instrument, establish a global policy, get global visibility on expenses, allow individuals and distributed branches to manage their telecom assets through a self service portal and more.

A telecom expense management initiative can have dramatic impact on the balance sheet of nonprofit organizations, reducing the technology and communications expenses substantially, thus leaving more money available to finance the core activities.

Convergence executes Technology Expense Management projects for nonprofit organizations with that goal in mind.

Convergence expense and invoice management solutions are designed to meet the needs of non-profit and NGO organizations, enabling them to reduce administrative costs, track and minimize wasteful spend, and focus on their core missions.
