9 Nonprofit Videos of Inspiration You Cannot Miss

Call me biased, but what’s happening with Atlantic BT’s “Gives Back” $25,000 Mobile Grant Contest is too exciting to keep under wraps.
What started with an idea to elevate the discussion of mobile technology and the role it can play in bettering people’s lives has evolved into excellent examples  on the multitude of ways mobile technology, strategy and marketing can enhance outcomes.

Whether it be through delivering vital medical services to the under-served of  New York City, mobilizing advocates in support of childhood hunger issues, delivering educational and spiritual resources to those in rural areas affected by cancer or increasing fundraising capacity to bring more support to families affected by Autism – the mobile channel has the capacity to help  any organization become more efficient and more successful.

How can I improve the performance of my application?
There are several primary reasons that applications perform poorly, and in some cases it’s a combination of several. 1) Data latency: If your application is making calls to a data source (whether it’s an API or a direct call) and there is latency at the data provider, your application performance will suffer.

Should I move my application to the cloud?
The answer is ‘probably yes’. There aren’t many reasons for an application to be hosted elsewhere, aside from occasional compliance standards, or requirements to integrate with local services that would require large amounts of data to move from on-premise to cloud.
