IT Project Services

The IT Project operates similar to a technology consulting firm. Clients purchase a block of time that they may use for any service. Once the block of time is depleted, clients simply purchase more so that their needs will continue to be met.

Other services offered by the NJAMHA IT Project, some which are free of charge, include:

Technology leadership and advocacy
Network administration - NJAMHA will arrange to provide staff members to go to your site and assist you with your network planning, problem resolution and system maintenance. Contracts are available at various rates and levels of support to meet the needs of both large and small agencies.
Computer training at your agency – We all know training is the key to utilizing technology to its fullest extent and saves BIG money in the long run. Now, the IT Project has developed a program that makes training an even easier decision to make – onsite training at your agency! The IT Project's onsite training has the dual advantages of offering you expert training at a low cost and saving you money on lost staff time and travel costs. The same training classes that are offered at NJAMHA's training facility are also offered through this program. The cost is minimal, at just $590 for one day for up to 13 people, though more can be accommodated..
Web site development at below market rates - We provide a full Internet Web site creation service for all of our agencies. Prices are well below the commercial rate.
Group purchasing
Computer systems analyses
Help desk support
User groups - NJAMHA offers support for all agencies by promoting different users' group meetings to discuss problems and solutions. Presently, we have the following groups: MS Health's CMHC, Billing Supervisors and Quality Assurance groups meet regularly.
Software training video library - NJAMHA has a video library, which contains tapes on many of the popular software products used today. These tapes can be borrowed from our library for a two-week time period.
Grant/computer donation information - Members of our staff often receive information from software and hardware companies on procedures for receiving donated items. Any information that we receive is passed on to the agencies. Many companies also provide grants to nonprofit organizations for purchasing hardware, software and other types of equipment. We have provided our agencies with a list of these companies along with the procedures needed to begin the grant proposal process.
Technology consultation – Technology consultation is presently provided to the agencies at no cost. This service offers help to agencies when they encounter problems using certain software and hardware products. We provide telephone, modem and on-site support services.
Information technology conferences and workshops – The IT Project hosts an annual technology conference, offering attendees the latest information on popular trends and future technologies, as well as the opportunity to network with dozens of vendors representing top technology companies.

These services are available to all NJAMHA members, as well as any other agency that receives funding from DMHS. Also, NJAMHA's wealth of experience and knowledge on creating technology solutions and fulfilling training needs for non-profit organizations makes it an ideal choice for a traditional non-profit struggling to implement technology to streamline operations.
