In 2008, NCCC needed to upgrade its computers. After receiving computer donations from the San Diego Futures Foundation, the NCCC still needed the most up-to-date software. Through TechSoup, the organization received it through the Microsoft and Adobe donation programs. Microsoft Outlook helps the NCCC transmit important information via email to its members. Excel and Access 2007 have improved its capacity to contact its stakeholders via phone, email, and direct mail. Using Excel in conjunction with Word, the NCCC can easily create mailing labels for its monthly mailers. Staff now develops all marketing and communication materials in-house using Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Word, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Photoshop.
