What does PCS do?

In broad terms, we'll do whatever it takes to put the power of information at everyone's fingertips. The most efficient way for us is to 'empower' public charities so that they can they can provide, and customize, information services to their segment of the public.

Our 'toolbox' provides computing services to the general public through the internet. Individual clients create an account on our web site or one of our clients'. From there, they can create and share documents (e.g., word processing, spreadsheets, presentations) via the world-wide-web (WWW).

Since we don't have enough space on our servers to support all the individual users we'd like to, we spend most of our time helping public charities distribute software services through their web resources. We give them all the software necessary to build the same web site and tools we use (if they want to do all the customization themselves), and all the support to do so.

The possibilities for distributing public computing services are endless. Schools can distribute software services to under-privileged students. Shelters can share their resources with the homeless. Small academic organizations can let members publish their work through the internet. Arts groups can give space to artists who otherwise couldn't promote their work. Workforce centers can distribute software services to job seekers. Similarly, we think we can also reduce the burden on government to support charities and their clients.
