Join us for an exclusive online discussion for members*, where we will delve into the results of the IT Applications and Infrastructure survey in depth. The full benchmarking output will be released in September 2025 to those organisations that took part. This is an excellent opportunity to hear the headlines, learn from the experiences of others and share your insights.
*Please note that, following our benchmarking terms, this event is exclusively available to organisations that took part and shared their data through the survey exercise.
Following member feedback, the purpose of the survey was to benchmark members' existing systems and provide valuable insights into the specific software applications across various operational models. By collecting this data, we have produced a comprehensive supplier schedule that will be of enormous benefit to members when tendering for new services or exploring alternative solutions.
Gareth Germer, CEO, and Eddie Erasmus, Head of Technology at Chailey Heritage Foundation, generously drafted the survey and applied their expertise to analyse the responses. Through their contributions, we have actionable insights from the data, and on behalf of VODG and our members, we offer our thanks.
Head Of Technology, Chailey Heritage Foundation
