Evaluating ROI with Karen Graham

Evaluating ROI

As a nonprofit leader, you want to make every second and every penny count, including the time and money you invest in technology.

Join this one-hour webinar to learn how to apply ROI analysis to both new and existing technology, and walk through a practical example to identify key costs and benefits, including those that are often hard to quantify. Whether you're preparing for your next tech upgrade or looking to evaluate past investments, this session will provide you with the insights you need to make smart, strategic decisions.
