Build It Yourself? Part 1: A Proportionate Architecture

How can a smaller nonprofit organisation centralise data for people who haven't been hired yet, working in departments that don't exist yet, doing work that no one has thought of yet?

Here’s the architecture for a possible solution that takes advantage of Microsoft's shared responsibility policies. I will go on to test to see if it’s feasible for a small nonprofit organisation with self-taught IT champions.

  • I think starting simple makes more sense, especially for a small team. I made the same mistake on my own https://chronoagecalculator.com/ by trying to plan for too many things at the start. In the end, keeping it simplee made updates much easyer. You can always add more later if you neeed it.
