Coronavirus and Business Continuity

Solving IT Challenges in Non Profit Sectors and How

The coronavirus pandemic is impacting everyone and as the situation continues to affect our world, we wanted to reach out and update you on how we at Simplicit are supporting our employees and you—our customers.

Our Employees

Our team of 20 employees are capable of working from anywhere. We’ve taken actions to reduce the need for our employees to come into our offices; at this point in time most, if not all, are working mostly from home and able to answer the phones, provide remote support and answer emails as needed to ensure you receive the technical support needed. We’ll continue to make sure our workforce is supported as this crisis evolves.

Ensuring UP-TIME for Customers

We know that, for many customers, this time has meant even more disruption to their businesses, with extreme swings in customer demand and stress on certain channels. That’s why we’re working across product areas where excess capacity may exist to help avoid disruptions. And, when it comes to service and support, we’ve built redundancy across locations to maintain a consistent experience for customers.
