Getting IT Spicy at your church?
Posted on August 11, 2009
So, now that I have your attention, what is this Spicy thing?
As a church IT volunteer, our time is limited and we need tools that can help us be more efficient with the time we do have. When I took over as the tech team leader, I knew that the biggest challenge was going to be maintaining the network. I needed a tool that could be my eyes and ears in the environment and let me know when things are not right. For example, some of the canned alerts will tell me when someone has installed new software on their system or if they added the infamous weather-bug.. without having to install expensive 3rd party applications on every workstation in the network. That is where SpiceWorks comes in.
This is the 1st in a series of post on SpiceWorks; a network monitoring tool that that lets you perform a wide variety of tasks within your infrastructure. From inventory control, alerts and monitors, a wide range of canned reports as well as custom reports, there is also an extensive Help Desk that you can have up and running within 5 minutes.
All for FREE
see what it has to offer
After watching the video I hope you have a better understanding what SpiceWorks has to offer, so Download SpiceWorks and test it out and see what over 700,000 IT pros are saying.
Stay tuned for the next in the series where I’ll begin to unravel SpiceWorks piece by piece and show you just how you can use it in your network. While you’re at it jump on over to the CTM Forumwhere we can further the discussion.
By the way, I’m writing about SpiceWorks because it’s a truly great tool for churches, there is no benefit to myself or CTM.

If you can make it or know someone who can, Spiceworld London ( http://www.spiceworld2009.com/london/ ) will be a great event to learn more about Spiceworks and meet up with some people.
It will also be the first place to get 4.5 training.
It will hopefully also been streamed so you maybe able to watch it where ever you are in the world.
There will be memebers of the Spiceworks team as well as lots of members of the community.
It will be a great day followed by hopefully a great afterparty.
