6 Reflections on the NetHope Annual Summit 2019

November 9, 2019 NetSuite

Posted by Kate Daniels, Strategic Partnerships Leader

NetSuite and NetHope have collaborated throughout the year – including co-creating webinars featuring Compassion in World Farming and Mana Nutrition, elevating thought pieces together such as the Dollars to Outcomes research, jointly promoting the Digital Nonprofit Ability (DNA) Assessment and the forthcoming NetSuite-sponsored IDEA journey for NetHope members.

Last week, Oracle NetSuite Social Impact spent a rich, full, wildly interactive and deeply satisfying week with the NetHope community, at the 2019 Annual Summit in Puerto Rico. Here are six takeaways from the week:

1. Every NGO is a technology organization

Gone are the days when organizational leadership could divert their attention from the technological components of fundraising, program, finance, HR and logistical systems. Today, every organization is a technology organization. Becoming comfortable with that fact and shifting your focus to how technology can enable critical nonprofit operations will reduce the time spent on backend processes and increase the likelihood of earning large donor funds. It will also facilitate mutually beneficial relationships with technology companies rather than combative or reluctant ones. And most importantly, it will increase the scope, speed and professionalism of your development work.

2. International NGOs should begin to think differently about their digital strategy

NetHope’s release of the Digital Nonprofit Ability (DNA) Assessment comes at an excellent time. The DNA Assessment can reveal critical insights into an NGO’s technology capacity, abilities and the gaps therein. This feedback can then inform whether and how organizations interact with the IDEA journey concept (Imagining the kind of organization desired; Designing the systems and technology required; Executing on design; and finally, Assessing the execution). This concept is structured, carefully thought through and appropriate to International NGOs, in that it honors the NGO funding cycle and the need to have a well thought through concept available before approaching donors.

3. Leveraging the best in technology (AI, Machine Learning) for development makes good business and organizational sense

There are good reasons for nonprofit leaders to look at AI with some skepticism when considering new and innovative ways to serve at-risk populations and the environment. The risks to development organizations will carry far more significant weight than the risks to for-profit companies. When a retail company harnesses AI in its customer service business unit, with a chat bot, for example, the worst thing that can happen is that the customer service is poorly delivered and needs to be supplemented. When the International Rescue Committee harnesses AI in a refugee camp, the consequences of it not working include failure to deliver critical services to human beings already existing on the periphery of society.

Yet, there is no reason whatsoever that the best-in-class technology and most cutting-edge innovations should be reserved for the private sector. Tools like artificial intelligence, machine learning and retina scanning in refugee camps enable improved service delivery, faster relief efforts, more efficient management of resources and improved transparency.

The International Rescue Committee, for example, has piloted a retina scanning project in a refugee camp in Thailand, with early success. The downside involves nefarious forces (e.g. oppressive governments) that would attempt to harness this data to exact harm on populations deemed undesirable. These are not insignificant risks. Yet the idea of foregoing the best that technology has to offer in light of the intractable challenges development agencies face makes little sense.

4. Integrating finance, program and fundraising is an important and compelling reason to invest in an NGO data model

International NGOs face mounting pressure to clearly link the dollars raised and grant activities to the outputs and outcomes of those activities. They must be able to then link that back to the financial and program reports submitted to donors. The issue of marrying data from different departments is complicated by the fact that many organizations use different digital (and sometimes, analog) systems. Finance uses one system to track costs, program uses another to monitor and evaluate programs, grants management uses another and fundraising maintains pipeline and constituent relationship matrices in yet another system. The technology to marry this data on one platform exists through integrations and connectors. Early adoption of these integrated systems can dramatically improve reporting, transparency with donors and the capacity to convey impact.

5. The NetHope working group on Frontline Humanitarian Logistics and the need for a multi-layered platform will compel technology companies ordinarily in competition to cooperate

Mike Smith from Oxfam International, together with support from NetHope, has convened a multi-disciplinary, multi organizational working group to address the complex needs of organizations whose operations include frontline humanitarian logistics. What is unique about this project is that it requires the collective input, contributions and technology of not only International NGOs, but also of companies, many of which classically compete with one another (e.g. NetSuite, Microsoft and Salesforce) in various markets. And this is exactly how we need to address complicated development problems. By consciously leaving our egos and territoriality at the door and discussing how our technologies can integrate, connect and talk to one another, we can maximize the power of our collective platforms to design something that is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

6. Donors are thinking about technology for development differently than ever before and they know they have a lot to learn

Greg Olson from USAID’s Food for Peace program offered a session, entitled Innovating Delivery: Technology and the Global Food Assistance Supply Chain, during which he explained the way the program supplies food aid with antiquated technology and in settings that often off the grid, disconnected and difficult to link via mainstream technology for development methods.

He articulate that the donor community is increasingly aware that technology is not only useful and helpful, but critical to getting work done. USAID, the largest single donor in the world, is waking up to its role in ensuring the funding for technology is provided for in grant awards and in budget line items, not only because technology enables reporting, but because technology is critical to impact.

TIBCO Talks About Going Cloud-native with The New Stack at Cloud Foundry Summit 2019

June 22, 2019 TIBCO Spotfire

This year’s Cloud Foundry summit in April was an exciting one for us here at TIBCO. We announced that TIBCO Cloud™ Mashery® is now cloud-native. This cloud-native deployment supports Cloud Foundry customers via deployment on PKS (Pivotal Container Service). It’s a ‘pivotal’ move for us, in order to further empower customers with cloud-native API management using TIBCO Cloud Mashery. Mashery can be deployed anywhere, and supports next generation cloud-native architectures to deliver more speed, scale, and agility for market-leading enterprises.

Watch this interview with the New Stack that took place at the Summit where TIBCO Senior Product Manager Beerinder Rodey, interviewed by Joab Jackson, managing editor for The New Stack, on April 22nd, discusses the cloud-native launch of TIBCO Cloud Mashery and what it means for users. According to Beerinder, in today’s world, we see both cloud-native and traditional enterprises. And, we hear a lot of customers ask “How can I leverage and augment the systems and applications I already have on-premises?”

That’s the great thing about cloud-native Mashery. You can go fully on-premises, SaaS, or use containers in your private cloud, and manage API endpoints for services deployed anywhere. Cloud-native Mashery allows you to bring cloud-native deployments on-premises, and is a good way to start for customers whose architecture doesn’t align with the public cloud, but want all of the benefits of cloud.

APIs have also evolved to become fully integrated with DevOps and front and back-end development. Among the benefits APIs offer, well-developed APIs serve integral role allowing organizations to realize their business goals more efficiently and rapidly.

In the video, Beerinder also discusses:

The current state of API management
How organizations are using API management for both external and increasingly internal use cases
The evolution to cloud-native API management
How Mashery now makes Kubernetes deployments easy and integration with DevOps tooling even easier
TIBCO BusinessWorks(TM) Container Edition is also certified on Cloud Foundry

How to Use Community to Make the World a Better Place by Shannon Lindsey

Shannon Lindsay of the Informatics Team at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) runs the Power BI User Group (PUG) community in Washington, DC. Her associate, Stephanie Bruno, runs the PUG in Pittsburgh, PA. They also run an internal PUG at EGPAF in which they invite all countries to meet (via conference calls) to share resources and ideas and collaborate on projects.

In this session, Lindsay will share her story of how “Community has been the key to our success in relation to the implementation of Power BI (among other technologies) here at EGPAF. In fact, it is because of our relationships with the community that these trainings happened at all! Stephanie heard about the Microsoft MySkills4Afrika program a few years ago from a volunteer at the Data Insights conference in Seattle.”

What It Takes to Be a PowerApps Flow MVP by Anton Robbins

Anton Robbins is the CTO of Seisay IT Solutions, a PowerApps and Flow MVP, PowerApps Champion, DC PowerApps User Group Leader and slayer of bow ties. That he has a passion for the Microsoft Power Platform (Flow, Power BI, and PowerApps) communities is an understatement. “It takes a community to elevate technical brethren.” When he is not speaking at an event, he is usually volunteering or organizing events. He has been, in the past and currently is, a speaker at Microsoft conferences and local User Groups. In his spare time, which he rarely has, he likes to roller skate.

Gilbert Quevauvilliers will share his process for getting this knowledge and how to best use the Microsoft forums.

“Currently, I’m working as a Power BI & Data Analytics Consultant. I have over 10+ years’ experience working with data of any size and any source. By leveraging my skills, I am able to provide insights into customers’ data quickly and efficiently. And this has enabled my customers to gain a better understanding of their business. Which relates to better sales, or significant cost savings.

“I was recently awarded a Microsoft MVP award for Power BI. Power BI, in my opinion, is the logical choice for creating insights, being cost-effective and providing dashboards and reports on Web, Mobile, or in Apps out of the box.

“I have proven competencies in the implementation of data analytic solutions from the ground up, which included developing data warehouses, SSAS Cubes and, most recently, Power BI solutions for customers in various business sectors.

“I have worked within teams, managed teams, as well as worked alone on various successful data analytics projects.

“I have focused on providing Power BI Solutions to customers since the inception of Power BI in July 2015.”

Brian Dang now a program manager on the PowerApps team is helping shape the product to make it easier to use and adopt for the world of citizen developers. Formerly a third and fourth grade teacher, Brian Dang (known as Mr. Dang by his students) used PowerApps to create several education apps for teaching, managing his classroom, and gamifying the learning experience. In this in-depth interview, Brian shares his experience meeting Bill Gates, how he got started with PowerApps, how students and teachers are using apps in the classroom, and his vision for PowerApps in the education space. Teachers and students are very excited about using apps in the learning process. Not only do the kids get engaged in the subjects they are learning, but they also explore the technology and authoring tools used to create the custom apps, like the spelling and banking apps. His fourth graders even collaborated in teams to create their own apps, such as one with a Harry Potter theme. Since recording this video, Brian has joined the PowerApps team to execute his vision of bringing PowerApps into the classroom and enabling teachers, students and administrators to “not settle for the apps they have, but create the apps they want.”
