Voluntariado por um sem fins lucrativos - Existe alguma coisa para o SharePoint que posso obter para a minha empresa mais barata?

Question

Estou fazendo algum desenvolvimento voluntário para uma organização não para fins lucrativos.Eu sei que há algumas empresas que vi em torno do lugar que ofereça seu software gratuitamente para não para lucros (por exemplo, Balsamiq).Há algum que faça o mesmo para o software relacionado ao SharePoint?

Answer 1

Microsoft administers a volume license program for qualified charitable organizations. If you have not engaged a Microsoft Partner or Microsoft themselves in regards to this, that would be my first stop.

You can also check http://www.techsoup.org, Software is donated and can be applied for there.

If there is a specific add/on or service you are interested in, I would open a dialog with that vendor directly. They will probably give it to you or at a deep discount with some concessions (such as putting on your website you are using their tech).

Answer 2

Some companies offer discounts for educational institutions from my experience. If there is a particular need you need to fill, like workflow, evaluate the 3rd party offerings, then talk to their respective sales folks. They might not give it away for free, but you might have to pay annual maintenance or something like that.

Answer 3

you can try SharePoint Foundation as far as i know it is free but the features are limited. maybe you can consider this. but please do take note that the server is on premise therefore you still need to spend for the hard ware.
