The IT partner Midwest nonprofits trust to protect the mission and the budget
Managed IT and security that fit a lean budget, from an MBE-certified provider with a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing path. More of your resources on the mission, fewer on technology trouble.
What we hear from the organizations we work with
A nonprofit’s work is its mission, and the people who carry it out are stretched thin and watching every dollar. The organizations we work with tell us technology trouble shows up at the worst time and in the same places. A donor database nobody fully owns. A volunteer who still has access a year later. A grant report due with the one laptop that holds it acting up. A budget with no room for a surprise.
What an organization needs is IT that fits the budget and keeps the mission running, and a partner who treats the dollars the way the board does. We treat that as the job, and we keep more of your resources pointed at the people you serve.
Most of our work happens before anyone picks up the phone. We monitor and harden continuously and resolve most issues before they reach a staff member or a volunteer. Steady, proactive, and in your corner is what nonprofit leaders tell us they want from an IT partner.
What a mission is measured on
We measure our own work by what your organization is measured on.
Dollars to the mission
Predictable, right-sized technology spending, so more of the budget reaches the people you serve.
Donor and member trust
The data supporters entrust to you, kept private and secure.
Continuity of programs
The systems your programs run on, kept available so the work does not stop.
Staff and volunteer time
The hours your people spend on the mission, not on technology that gets in the way.
Where technology puts a mission at risk
The exposures we see most often in nonprofits and faith-based organizations, and the ones we are built to catch early.
Stretched, unsupported systems
Aging equipment and software held together past their life become a quiet risk. We plan and right-size replacements before they fail.
Donor and member data on unmanaged devices
Supporter data on personal laptops and phones the organization does not control. We bring devices under management so data does not walk out the door.
Email and identity as the way in
Most incidents start with a stolen login or a convincing email, often a fake donation or invoice. Identity and email security close the most common path.
Backups nobody has tested
A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a plan. We test recovery so a failure is a setback, not a crisis.
Access that lingers after people leave
Staff and volunteers move on but keep access. We make off-boarding clean and access tied to the role.
No plan when a key person leaves
When the one person who knew the systems is gone, the organization is exposed. We document and support so knowledge does not walk out the door.
What we do for nonprofits and faith-based organizations
Our IT services for nonprofits are built around the mission and a lean budget, each tied to an outcome, not a tool list.
Managed IT and
24/7 helpdesk
Day-to-day support and proactive monitoring for the people and systems the organization runs on. See our managed IT services.
Security and data protection
Donor, member, and program data protected, with the controls that stop the most common incidents. Part of our cybersecurity work.
Backup and continuity
Programs and records backed up and recoverable, so a failure is a setback, not a shutdown. See backup and recovery.
Email and identity security
The controls that stop the fake donation, the invoice fraud, and the stolen login.
Technology procurement
Hardware and software sourced and planned, with cooperative purchasing where it fits. See technology procurement.
Right-sized planning
A practical roadmap that fits the budget and the funding cycle, with no surprises.
Certified, and available through cooperative purchasing
Two things set DTS apart for a mission-driven organization, and both are about access, not just expertise. We are Indiana’s largest MBE-certified IT provider, and we hold a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract.
If Sourcewell is the right purchasing path for your organization, you can work with DTS through it, which can simplify how you buy. Sourcewell is buyer-initiated, so membership is the step you take on your side, and we will point you to Sourcewell to learn more and meet you on whichever path fits.
Certified, accessible, and right-sized for a lean budget. That is the standard we hold the work to.
A lean budget does not mean cutting corners on security. It means predictable, right-sized spending and a partner who plans around your funding cycle instead of around a sales quota.
What better looks like
The difference a steady partner makes, in the organization’s own terms.
Without a proactive partner
- Aging systems held together past their life
- Donor and member data on devices nobody controls
- Backups no one has tested
- Access that lingers after volunteers and staff leave
- Technology spending that surprises the budget
With DTS
- Right-sized systems planned before they fail
- Supporter data kept on managed, protected devices
- Recovery you have actually tested
- Access tied to the role and closed cleanly on departure
- Predictable spending, with cooperative purchasing where it fits
