Technology Shared Services
What if…
- You had access to an online address book of staff across the Archdiocese?
- You had the ability to start a face-to-face online meeting with any staff across the Archdiocese with a click?
- You didn’t have to worry about Cybersecurity risks or whether you would be covered in the event of a Cybersecurity breach because you knew a solid team had your back?
Shared Services will help Families of Parishes (FOPs) to:
- Eliminate redundant efforts to source and select vendors and tools at every parish
- Reduce technology and operational maintenance burdens
- Facilitate collaboration and secure information sharing
- Provide negotiated pricing and discounts on services and hardware
- Lay a framework to provide shared data and tools for the mission
Even if you are not ready to implement a complete Shared Services model, it will be beneficial for parish families to start to align to the standards and offerings included in the Shared Services Playbook, which includes the following:
Shared Services - IT Operations | Shared Services - Standard Applications |
| Network, Wireless, and Security | Church Management Systems |
| Cloud Managed Infrastructure | Online Giving |
| Cybersecurity | Integrated Accounting and General Ledger |
| Collaboration Suite | Live Streaming |
| Unified Communication System | Video Conferencing |
| Printer and Copier Management | Audio-Visual Services |
| Technical Support | Engagement, Outreach, Communications and Formation |
