A member
of the San Francisco Nonprofit Technology Center since 2006, Sarai
LLC provides technology guidance, management and support services to
nonprofit organizations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. The
name Sarai means “woman of high rank” and was chosen in honor of
their clients, the vast majority of whom are women.
They
build lasting relationships with their clients and become valued
members of their team. In their work they often fill the role that a
Chief Information Officer might play in larger organizations. They
focus on efficient management of their clients' networks, regularly
plan ahead for future needs, and help their clients get the best
value for their limited technology dollar. They place a premium on
hiring people with excellent technical skills who can also
communicate to non-technical managers and end users, and ensure they
stay up to date with training from CompTIA, Microsoft, Symantec, and
Cisco.
Another unique quality of Sarai is their commitment to
social responsibility and their involvement with the local community.
President Zac Mutrux has completed Compasspoint's Institute for
Nonprofit Consulting and is a member emeritus of the Tech
Underground. Both the President and chief engineer Henry Kumagai were
previously members of the consulting services department at local
nonprofit organization CompuMentor (aka TechSoup.org). They have both
worked closely with TechSoup.org to provide nonprofits with access to
the tools and tech knowledge they need to run effective
organizations. Sarai is a member of the Independent Computer
Consultants Association, the the Nonprofit Technology Enterprise
Network (NTEN), and the Better Business Bureau.
Sarai is in
the process of obtaining a San Francisco Green Business designation.
As one example of their commitment to preserving the natural
environment, they are proud to say that they balance the limited
carbon emissions from their company Smart Car with a carbon offset
purchased from San Francisco's Terrapass.
An EPEAT reseller partner, Sarai assists clients to minimize the
impact their use of information technology has on the environment by
choosing less toxic products and reducing their energy consumption.
