Nothing special here except you need an actual experienced consultant or employee to do this. Just being able to chant words and feeling geeky does not mean you have the skills to competently run this. All small businesses like to think they're unique but you're describing very average needs that just need to be addressed by a skilled person - non-profits are not one of a kind though they may have some special privacy/regulatory needs. That's a very small part of what competent IT staff can manage.
Good luck there. You may actually have to pay a market rate salary/contract for this instead of guilting someone to give you less than competent service. Seen this before with non-profits and they just flush money down the rat hole instead of spending wisely. Or you can just keep throwing your tax-supported donations into the toilet after you've taken your personal share like most US non-profits.
Attention Oracle: Doesn't matter any more what you do because people are removing Java as quickly as they can. If you don't want Java you don't need to continue to rape it, just make it open software and let it go. Anyone, absolutely anyone, could do a better job of maintaining it - even a room full of monkeys with keyboards.
Wait, a for-profit company wants free advice for this? Or are you the Bangalore consultant who shammed your way into this assignment with no actual skills or experience and now you want someone else to do the work for you for free? Very funny, but most pros in this business have seen this ruse before. Let him figure it out for himself.
I was able to download from Technet without incident in the early afternoon (Pacific time). Just goes to show that the early bird doesn't always get the (file):-)

Have you thought of another occupation for yourself?

I found nothing of value in the article and can't imagine any other reason for writing it but to grab eyeballs with a catchy headline. Rob
Has anyone noticed whether this upgrade really includes the ability to resize text in the Gmail client? Here's hoping this is finally fixed! Rob
How did they miss the ability to read .pdf and MS Office documents?? They're pretty basic to anyone using the phone for business of any size. Sigh...
