The idea of the ITSW came after the realization of two issues. The first issue is that Information Technology (IT) solutions have a great impact on the operation of non-profit and educational organizations the same way it impacts commercial businesses. However, generally, non-profit and educational organizations do not have enough budgets to develop the IT solutions they need. The second issue is that undergraduate students who are pursuing a degree in Information Technology have skills that allow them to develop much of the solutions that non-profit or educational organizations will need. The ITSW was then established to bring these two issues together.
