Short clip: Special Olympics' Chief Begging Officer
Andre Mendes, CIO of the Special Olympics, says that being the CIO for a nonprofit often means being the "Chief Begging Officer" as well. Rather than use open source software, they have managed to convince larger software companies to donate or give grants for most of what they need.
Sound effect
>> Now, as a CIO, and despite the fact that you're obviously in a nonprofit, you obviously have to watch your costs and look at the latest technologies that can help you achieve your goals. So, wanted to ask you about areas such as open source and cloud computing. Are those on your radar?
>> Actually, to a large degree, open source is not, except on ancillary projects. One of the characteristics of a chief information officer in a nonprofit like Special Olympics is that, you know, I'm also, to a certain degree, chief begging officer or chief technology begging officer. Because one of the things that we do is we go out there and try to convince some of the leadership of the largest technology corporations that this is a worthwhile event, that it's -- that is very much worthy of their sponsoring and funding. So, you know, we went to companies like Microsoft and HP and Citrix and Avaya and Extreme Networks; and I have managed to get, you know, tremendously, you know, graceful loans from them and grants of equipment and software from them that have allowed us to create what I've considered a, you know, a state of the art type of environment from an IT perspective, utilizing very much the same technologies that you would find in a for-profit environment.
