What can IT do for me

Broadly speaking the use of IT can be divided into three major categories:

	Transformational: Maximising your community impact by creating IT solutions or developing IT business models to address real world problems.
	Optimising service delivery: Increasing your reach and scale by incorporating IT into service delivery
	Establishing an infrastructure: Creating the foundation of operational efficiency with IT

As the pyramid illustrates, the applications of IT that have the most impact on your organisation are built on the layers beneath them. So it's essential to have a sound infrastructure before you start to implement technology that changes the way you operate or delivers services to your beneficiaries.
