EP113 – Leveraging the Third Sector with Microsoft’s Chris Lines and Ian Luckett

In this episode of the IT Experts Podcast, I talk with Chris Lines from Microsoft, giving you a tonne of information about leveraging the third sector, being the Not for Profits and Charities. 

This one is for the reference books so I hope you won’t miss listening to this golden episode, get your pens and paper ready.  

I first let Chris walk us through everything the Microsoft Tech for Social Impact Team is doing. It is important we get to know who they are and what their team is doing that is massively helpful for every MSP.  

In the early minutes, I let Chris unbuckle myths about how non-profit businesses work. He made an interesting and comprehensive discussion on how it works and what the MSP can get from Microsoft to help their business grow,  

It gets even more interesting when Chris shared tactics and unboxed the tech for the social impact toolbox.  

We cleared up matters on common queries such as funding and payments.  

Looking forward, I also let Chris talk about what is in store in the future and things they can offer for improved security. There is a good discussion that involves their internal processes as well.  

I hope you enjoyed this episode, as much as Chris and I enjoyed recording this, and the whole IT Experts team enjoyed creating it.
